Teixeira eager for another Stoke opportunity

Dionatan Teixeira is hopeful of receiving another chance with Stoke City.

The 22-year old Brazilian defender made his Potters debut as a second-half substitute in the weekend's 2-1 win over Aston Villa after recovering from a broken foot.

Teixeira may have only got on for five minutes for Mark Hughes' side but was happy to be involved in a vital victory and is looking forward to further Premier League action with the Staffordshire outfit.

"In the first 45 minutes Phil Bardsley got injured and the coach says I need to be ready for the game," he told the Stoke Sentinel.

"In the end, the chance came after 85 minutes. But for me it is very important, because I wait six months for it.

"It is only five minutes, but it is ok because it is an important three points. This is the most important thing."
