Michael Owen believes he is ready to make his Stoke City bow against Manchester City on Saturday, but admits he is not '100 per cent happy' with his overall condition.
"From what the lads say, he has come back a lot fitter than what we thought he would," Pulis said. "He needs a lot more work with the ball and being in small-sided games for his sharpness, but we are pleased with the way he has come back." Asked if he felt he could use Owen straight away in a game, Pulis said: "It is too early to say yet. We have got two more days."
