Stoke City has confirmed Mikel Obi will be unavailable for Saturday’s Championship side against Derby County at the Pride Park due to injury,
Mikel is yet to recover from a calf injury which he sustained during the Potters 0-0 draw against Sheffield Wednesday last month.
“We will wait to see on Tyrese. Jacob collided with an advertising hoarding and felt his shoulder,” O’Neill told the club’s official website.
“Jacob had probably run his race. He gave us so much on Saturday (1-0 win against Middlesbrough) and also against Cardiff.
“We are hopeful, without being definitive, about Fletcher and Jordan, but the Derby game might come too soon for John Obi Mikel. I don’t think any of the other injured players will be available.”
