Stoke wait on Hendrie

Tony Pulis is unsure whether Lee Hendrie has played his last game for Stoke City.

Tony Pulis is unsure whether Lee Hendrie has played his last game for Stoke City.

The midfielder has spent the past three months on loan at The Britannia Stadium from Aston Villa.

Hendrie has impressed during his time with Stoke and has scored three goals in 16 appearances in the Championship.

He is due to return to Villa Park before the New Year, but Pulis is uncertain whether he is available for Saturday's game with Leeds United.

Pulis substituted Hendrie towards the end of Boxing Day's 2-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday and concedes that could have been the player's final outing for the club.

"It was either his last game against Wednesday or on Saturday," said Pulis.

"There's a bit of conflict in the office about it.

"But Salif Diao and Patrik Berger are here until the middle of January."
