Bunyan has been out of action since 10 April with knee ligament damage

Stoke Potters will have to make do without three injured riders for their Premier League clash with Somerset.

Jason Bunyan has suffered a fresh setback in his attempt to return from the knee ligament problem which has sidelined him for almost two months.

The 31-year-old has ruled himself out of Friday's meeting and the home clash with Birmingham 24 hours later.
