Stoke boss Tony Pulis has wished Aston Villa counterpart Gerard Houllier a speedy recovery after he was taken to hospital due to illness.
Houllier is reported to be in a comfortable condition after spending Wednesday night in hospital.
The 63-year-old has a history of health problems after being forced to undergo life-saving emergency heart surgery in October 2001 after complaining of chest pains at half-time during Liverpool’s game with Leeds at Anfield.
Houllier is unlikely to be at Saturday’s match against Stoke City with assistant boss Gary McAllister set to take charge.
Potters boss Pulis is hoping Houllier’s latest problem is not serious and hopes to see him make a full recovery.
“I think everybody in football would wish Gerard a speedy recovery,” Pulis told Sky Sports News. “First and foremost we hope he is well and I am sure they will be looking after him.
