Along with young striker Brian Madjo and fellow defender Modou Cisse, Harwood-Bellis was left out for Europe by Emery as the head coach failed to find room.

It has happened before, with Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia last season – Malen eventually left for Roma last January as he looked for more playing time and responsibility.

When he was appointed in January 2025, Robins became the club’s seventh permanent manager since relegation from the Premier League in 2018.

Unlike many sides to fall out of the top flight, and despite a healthy budget, the Potters have failed to challenge for promotion in any season since the drop, with a highest finish of 14th.

Hopes were high last October when they were second after 14 games, but

Mark Robins says Stoke City are progressing despite poor Championship run

By Total Football News

Stoke City manager Mark Robins claims “people don’t want to hear” about the club’s progress because their Championship promotion push has faded.

The Potters, who only avoided relegation on the final day of last season, have won just three of their past 16 league matches.

Robins, who took over in January last year, insists his side have improved.

He told BBC Radio Stoke: “You know why we are where we
