Stoke<\/a> duo Robert Huth<\/a> and Matthew Etherington<\/a> will face potentially heart-breaking fitness tests at Wembley ahead of Saturday\u2019s FA Cup<\/a> final clash with Manchester City<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huth suffered a knock to his knee at Stoke\u2019s game victory over Arsenal last weekend, while Etherington has been recovering from a torn hamstring he sustained two weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pair could be obliged to sit out their team\u2019s first FA Cup final in almost a century and a half.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It\u2019ll be a last-minute call for both of them, we will test them out just before the game,” said manager Tony Pulis.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The two of them are desperate to play and I will speak to them and the physio. What I have to do is make sure my decision is right for the team.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Huth underwent surgery this week in an attempt to recover for the big game, while Etherington has only just returned to light training.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
