Stoke City manager Mark Hughes says the club may consider signing a centre-back.

The Potters are down a little on defensive cover after Marc Wilson left this week for Bournemouth - although they did sign teenage defender Ryan Sweeney earlier this month.

"We will look at it," Hughes adds. "There are a couple of areas of the team that we feel we need to bring players in to help the rest of the guys. 

"It is nobody specific at the moment because we have a number of targets in mind, who we are hopeful of getting over the line. It is something that may well go to the last throws of the window."

A train had to make an emergency stop at a level crossing in Nantwich, external after teenagers stood in the middle of the tracks, it has emerged.

The organisation says the driver sounded the horn and applied the emergency brakes but the teenagers failed to move before the train came to a stop - they then walked away. 

Two days before, Network Rail says youngsters ran across the same level crossing as another train was approaching.

There's a fault on a train between Tamworth and Polesworth which could delay services through both stations, London Midland says.
