Stoke City's new goalkeeper, Gavin Bazunu, is set for an extended period on the sidelines after sustaining a thigh injury. The Republic of Ireland international, who joined the club on loan from Southampton, will miss approximately six weeks of action.

Robins lamented the continuous setbacks, stating, "Whatever can go wrong is going wrong." He emphasized the team's need to persevere until more players can return from injury, expressing disbelief at the number of players being affected.
