Simonsen, who joined the Potters on a free transfer from Everton in 2004, has been deposed as first choice between the Sticks by former Villa man Sorensen.
However, Sorensen has picked up a back injury whilst on International duty with Denmark and has opened the door for a possible start to Simonsen. The Danish keeper has been in good form so far this season, but Simonsen would relish the chance to show what he can do in the Premier League.
