Stoke boss Mark Hughes understands Peter Crouch's frustration

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes accepts Peter Crouch is frustrated at a lack of game time but says he would not be prepared to sell the striker in January.

Crouch, 35, has started just two games for Stoke this season and not at all since August.

The former England international responded to a tweet lamenting his performances on a football computer game with the quip: "At least I'm getting a game somewhere.''
