Huth eager for first team return with Stoke

The German sustained a knee ligament injury in a top-flight match versus Sunderland in November last year and subsequently missed the rest of the 2013-14 campaign.

Huth has played in two League Cup matches for Mark Hughes' side this season, but has yet to feature in the Premier League.

After a shaky defensive display in last Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Sunderland, there have been calls for Huth to return to the starting XI when Stoke host Swansea City after the international break.

"I'm great now. There's been no reaction, none whatsoever. It's all good. I haven't missed a training session since we started pre-season," Huth told The Sentinel.

"I don't even consider myself to have had an injury, that's how good it is. I just go to work and train, just like I did this time last year.

"Every player who's not playing is keen to get back into the team, but I'm going to have to bide my time. I am back now though and looking forward.

"There's plenty of games left and hopefully we can get a cup run as well."
