Promising Stoke City striker Nathan Lowe is back with the Championship club after injury cut short his loan spell with League One Stockport County.
The 20-year-old Potters' academy graduate has been struggling with a leg injury that has kept him out of action since Stockport's defeat by Lincoln on Boxing Day and will now continue his rehabilitation at Stoke's Clayton Wood training base.
Lowe had a stunning spell in League Two in the first half of last term with Walsall, where he scored 15 goals in 22 games, winning the division's young player of the year award.
