Marc Muniesa back in Stoke City contention

Stoke City defender Marc Muniesa says that he wants to be involved again at first-team level, having overcome a hamstring tear sustained in February.

Stoke City defender Marc Muniesa has declared himself fit for the final stretch of the Premier League campaign.

The 23-year-old has not featured since tearing his hamstring against Blackburn Rovers in February.

Having come through an hour of an Under-21s game this week, Muniesa now hopes to earn a place in the Potters' first-team squad over the final three games of the season.

"I was a little bit tired because it's difficult after two-and-a-half months off to play again, but I felt okay," he told BBC Sport.

"It was good for me to get some minutes and build some rhythm for the next first-team game. I said to the coaches after the game against Swansea that I did not play in that I wanted to play and wanted to be involved again."

Muniesa, a 2013 signing from Barcelona, has made 19 appearances for Stoke this season in all competitions.
