Former Stoke City defender Dionatan Teixeira has died aged 25 from a suspected heart attack. The Premier League club announced the news on Sunday.
The Brazilian joined the club in 2014 and made two first-team appearances before joining Moldovan side Sheriff Tiraspol.
"Dionatan was a hugely popular member of our squad and it’s difficult to comprehend that he has passed away at such a young age," Stoke's chief executive Tony Scholes said in a statement.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to his young family and friends at such a difficult time."
