Bae Junho is set to return to training with Stoke City after being granted time off following his World Cup duties. The South Korean midfielder suffered an ankle injury on the eve of the tournament, which derailed his team's preparations. Junho's return to training is a boost for Stoke City, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. Transfer interest in Junho has also emerged, with Lyon reportedly leading the charge. Meanwhile, injury updates on other players have emerged, with Junior Tchamadeu and Aaron Cresswell still unavailable for the upcoming friendly against Everton. Ben Pearson is back in the squad after missing Saturday's clashes with Sheffield Wednesday, while Ethan Galbraith misses the match due to a precautionary measure. The friendly against Everton is set to take place at the bet365 Stadium on Sunday, with Svante Ingelsson and Luke Graham making their first home starts. The match will also feature a young flavour to the bench, with Italy youth right-back Anas Dauda and under-21s Ruben Curley, Gabriel Kelly, Favour Fawunmi, Jack Newall, and Tyler Martin all set to feature.
