Begovic backs Walters to bounce back

Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has tipped his team-mate Jon Walters to swiftly move on from his nightmare outing against Chelsea by scoring in Tuesday night's FA Cup clash with Crystal Palace.

Walters headed in two own goals and missed a penalty as the Potters were beaten 4-0 by the Blues but Begovic has no doubt the forward is strong enough to bounce back, even backing him to find the net at the right end against Palace.

"I don't think anybody will worry about Jon Walters," Begovic said. "His character and personality won't be affected by anything that happens to him."
