Oussama Assaidi

Assaidi (knee) has been a full participant during training this week, the Stoke Sentinel reports.

Assaidi has moved back to Stoke City on another season-long loan from Liverpool

Assaidi tallied his fourth goal of the season during Saturday's win over Fulham.

Assaidi returned from a knee injury to play the final 12 minutes of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Cardiff City.

Assaidi, who was expected to return this weekend from a knee injury, is likely another week away, according to the club's official web site. "He will join in with the rest of the lads in training today which is a good step for him, but I do think the game will probably come a bit too soon for him to return," manager Mark Hughes said Thursday. "We will see how he comes through the session today, but with a bit of luck, and with hopefully a full week of training behind him, we can look to include him in some capacity against Tottenham next weekend."
