Seyi Olofinjana says he won't lose his rag over the lack of action he's seeing at Stoke City.

"I lost my place through injury and the guys who took my place have done well," he told BBC Radio Stoke. "Now it is just a matter of waiting for my next chance to come and making sure I take it."

Pulis has favoured a central pairing of Amdy Faye and Salif Diao, with Glenn Whelan coming into the reckoning of late after Diao picked up an injury.

Olofinjana added: "It is a continuous learning process.

"Rather than sulking you need to always be available and ready to play.

"You don't want to miss your chance because you are still sulking."
