Mark Robins is trying to make sure Stoke City pick up where they left off going into a flood of fixtures in the Championship…

Stoke City manager Mark Robins will work with 14 senior players during the international break ahead of their top-of-the-table clash against Birmingham City. Non-international players are regrouping at Clayton Wood following a win at Portsmouth, with a fortnight to prepare for a congested winter schedule that features 10 matches in 41 days.
The training group includes forward Sam Gallagher as he works toward full fitness, alongside defenders Ben Johnson, Ben Wilmot, Ben Gibson, and Maksym Talovierov. Eric Bocat and Aaron Cresswell are progressing from knee injuries, while several under-21 players will supplement senior sessions as 11 internationals travel for national team duty.
