Marko Arnautovic suffered a knee injury in Stoke’s first pre-season match
Stoke winger Marko Arnautovic could face a spell on the sidelines with a suspected knee injury – just hours after handing in a transfer request.
Sky Sports News HQ revealed on Monday that the 28-year-old had expressed a desire to leave the Potters and was the subject of a £15m bid from Premier League rivals West Ham.
Stoke rejected the offer from Hammers and, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Arnautovic started the club’s pre-season victory over Swiss side Neuchatel Xamax.
