Nigeria midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo will face a late fitness test ahead of Stoke City’s English Championship clash against Derby County at the Pride Park on Wednesday, reports Completesports.com.
Etebo, 23, missed the Potters’ 0-0 draw against Queens Park Rangers at the Loftus Road last Saturday as a result of groin injury.
Etebo, 23, picked up the injury in the Potters penultimate league game against Nothingham Forest at the Bet365 Stadium which they won 2-0.
The former Warri Wolves midfielder participated in training with his teammates on Monday to allay fears he could be set for a long spell on the sidelines.
The Nigeria international will however be further assessed on Wednesday to determine if he is fit enough to step on the pitch.

The all-action midfielder has made 25 appearances in the league and scored a goal for Stoke City thus far this season.
