Stoke City's opening pre-season game ended in a 3-0 defeat against Championship new boys Burton Albion.

Chris O'Grady scored twice in the second half and Lucas Akins completed the scoring at the Pirelli Stadium.

However, City boss Mark Hughes will have been heartened by the return of goalkeeper Jack Butland.

Defenders Glen Johnson and Marc Wilson also made comebacks after long-term injury lay-offs.
