Stoke boss Hughes admits Butland form may keep Begovic waiting

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes admits Jack Butland's wonderful form has given him a selection headache.

Asmir Begovic has now recovered from a broken finger but Potters boss Hughes seems likely to stick with the youngster for the FA Cup fourth round clash at Chelsea.

"I'll have to mull that decision over but Jack has been excellent and I'm very confident in him," he said.

"I needed to know I could trust him at Premier League level and given his performances since coming in, he's shown that I can."
