Stoke's Pericard set to return

Last updated : 24 September 2007 By Daniel Elwes
He has served one month of a four month sentence for perverting the cours of justice, after giving false information when caught speeing.

The 24-year-old will be electronically tagged, with the Potters asking permission for him to break a 7pm curfew in order to play in midweek matches.

"He's allowed 12 hours out of his house which are between 7am and 7pm so we've sent off a list of evening fixtures so they can allow him to go over that time," explained coach Mark O'Connor.

"He's going to have to have to move to the area I imagine as he can't continue to drive from Manchester every day."
