    Stoke City striker on his injury and returning to the squad

    Stoke City striker Sam Gallagher says his goal during their 3-1 win over Watford helped him feel "inclusion in the team" again after spending months on the sidelines.

    The 30-year-old has struggled with injuries this season, missing 11 league games with a hamstring problem before making his return against the Hornets.

    He also missed the first 16 games of the Championship campaign.

    "That's one of the biggest things when you are injured," Gallagher told BBC Radio Stoke.

    "When you are in the gym, you're looking through the glass at the boys outside working hard and you're thinking: 'I'm not helping the team'.

    "So to score the goal and contribute like that was massive for me."
