Mark Hughes: 'Charlie Adam will face Swansea City with broken nose'

Mark Hughes reveals that Stoke midfielder Charlie Adam suffered a broken nose but adds that he should be okay for the trip to Swansea.

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes has said that a broken nose will not keep Charlie Adam out of Saturday's visit to Swansea City.

The Scotland midfielder suffered the injury in training this afternoon but Hughes says that he will make the trip to South Wales.

"We got an injury today to Charlie Adam, unfortunately, who got a bang on the nose," he told a press conference. "It looks like he's broken his nose. I think he's done it in the past and that's probably where the weakness is.

"As long as that doesn't swell up to any consequence and affect his breathing then we should be okay.

"He's got a mask from the last time he did it so we're all prepared. Hopefully it won't compromise him for the game this weekend."

The Potters will leapfrog their Welsh counterparts and move eighth in the Premier League table with a victory.
