Jese Rodriguez will return to the Stoke squad for the first time in two months when Brighton visit the bet365 Stadium.
The on-loan Paris St Germain forward, who was granted time off to be with his prematurely-born son, has not been available since he was disciplined for leaving the stadium as an unused substitute against Swansea on December 2 after then-boss Mark Hughes had made all three changes.
Defender Bruno Martins Indi has trained all week following a knock so could come back into contention for a side that have conceded 52 times in the Premier League.
Brighton will include £14million record-signing Jurgen Locadia in their squad.
Dutch forward Locadia, signed from PSV Eindhoven last month, is now fit for action having arrived with a hamstring injury.
Midfielders Steve Sidwell and Jiri Skalak (both ankle) are the only players unavailable to Albion manager Chris Hughton.
