Sunderland winger Adam Johnson appears set to remain available for selection after being charged with three offences of sexual activity with a child under 16 and one of grooming.
The Black Cats confirmed on Friday that, while they will continue to review the situation, their position "remains unchanged".
With the 27-year-old having been used as a substitute in each of the club's last three Barclays Premier League games, it seems that he could also be involved at Stoke on Saturday.
A club statement said: "Following yesterday's statement from Durham Constabulary, the club recognises that the formal legal process must take its course and whilst our position remains unchanged, we will keep the matter under review.
"The club will not be making any further comment."
