Stoke City need their key players firing on all cylinders right now as they aim to avoid relegation from the Championship this season, and Mark Robins’ first-choice right-back Junior Tchamadeu looks to be coming into form at exactly the right time based off his performance last time out against Queens Park Rangers.
Stoke needed a vital three points last weekend against QPR to keep them on their way to preserving their second-tier status, and it was 21-year-old Tchamadeu who produced a man-of-the-match performance as they came away with a 3-1 win.
The Cameroonian international has been through numerous ups and downs in red and white since he signed for the Potters from Colchester United in the summer of 2023, but was entrusted to be the club’s main right-back this season after Ki-Jana Hoever did not return following two impressive loan spells.
He often struggled to impact games in the first-half of this season, amid Stoke’s turbulent campaign under three different managers, but he has come into his own in the last few months under Mark Robins, and put on his best display for the club so far against the Hoops when Stoke needed him most.
