Stoke striker Walters happy returning to Blackburn

Stoke City striker Jon Walters is looking forward to their FA Cup tie with Blackburn Rovers.

The 31-year-old enjoyed a visit to Ewood Park with Stoke in pre-season though and he is looking forward to going back to the club in two-and-a-half weeks.

"I started there as a young boy so I knew a few people who are still at the club and I saw them in pre-season so it will be exciting times," Walters said.

"I am sure it will be a good match. I saw a couple of the people I know in pre-season so it will be good to see them again."
