Nigeria forward, Peter Odemwingie, will undergo a late fitness test as Stoke City prepare to play hosts to Barclays Premier League title contenders, Arsenal, this Saturday.

The 32-year-old striker is reported to have suffered a calf injury and could miss out of Stoke's game against Arsenal at the Britannia Stadium.

Stoke City manager, Mark Hughes, has however disclosed that Odemwingie could still make the squad after suffering "a slight (calf) problem."

"Peter has a slight problem with his calf so we will have to check that tomorrow (Saturday)," Stoke Sentinel quoted Hughes as saying.

Odemwingie has started all five league matches for Stoke City since he completed a shock move from Cardiff City in January.

He has featured in league matches against Sunderland, Manchester United, Southampton, Swansea and Manchester City since joining The Potters.

In spite of the doubts hovering on Odemwingie's participation in the game against Arsenal, he has been named in a 20-man Stoke City provisional squad for Saturday's league clash.
