"Hopefully this marks a turning-point for him and he can get back into the team and play football regularly.
"You can't have too many players like him, so it's a positive to take into the game for next week knowing we can call on him,” he concluded.
The 34-year-old player is expected to play a big role for ninth placed Stoke City in their next English Premier League game away to Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on May 2, 2015.
