Ramadan sees few prospects joining Stoke City against Arsenal

CAIRO – 13 May 2017: International Footballer Ramadan Sobhy will probably be excluded again from Saturday’s Stoke City line-up against Arsenal, Stoke city’s Manager Mark Hughes hinted in press remarks Friday.

“I don't anticipate there being any selection issues, so we should be pretty strong, with the exception of the long-term absentees,” Hughes said in a press conference Friday ahead of Stoke City’s clash against Premier League’s fifth-placed Arsenal.

Sobhy has been away from the team’s line-ups for the past six games, and is expected to remain being consigned to Stoke city’s substitutes’ bench.

Arsenal have not beaten Mark Hughes at home in 8 attempts, and have only defeated Stoke away once.

Being placed eleventh in the Premier League’s table, Stoke enters today’s last home game with high hopes of securing the league’s top ten finish.
