Peter Crouch will be motivated by Roy Hodgson's decision to leave him out of England's Euro 2012 squad, according to Stoke City manager Tony Pulis

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has claimed that missing out on England's Euro 2012 campaign will motivate Peter Crouch next season.

Roy Hodgson decided to leave Crouch out of his squad for the tournament and Pulis admits that the former Liverpool forward took the news badly.

The Potters boss told the Stoke Sentinal: "I have spoken to Peter and he was very disappointed to be left out – and rightly so.

"I just said to him to go away and have a good family break, then come back raring to go for next season.

"I've no real worries with Peter because he's an experienced lad and knows the score. If anything, his omission will be more of a motivation and he'll come back flying."

Crouch scored 14 times for Stoke last season.
