Stoke City manager Mark Robins described his current situation as "unprecedented" in his career. The Potters face a severe double-figure injury list and illness, compounded by a poor run of form that has seen them win only three of their last 15 matches.
Despite the challenges, Robins is looking forward to the FA Cup fourth-round tie against Premier League side Fulham. He expressed concern over his team's inability to score recently but remains focused on guiding the squad through the difficult period.
