Stoke wait on Jones and Pennant

Stoke boss Tony Pulis hopes Kenwyne Jones and Jermaine Pennant will have recovered from a virus in time for the Barclays Premier League match at Everton. Winger Pennant and striker Jones played in the midweek Carling Cup tie at West Ham despite suffering from flu-like symptoms and were given Thursday off in a bid to speed their recovery. Striker Mamady Sidibe is the only long-term absentee, although Matt Etherington, Ricardo Fuller and Danny Collins missed the Upton Park match.
