Former Stoke City centre-back Dionatan Teixeira has died aged 25 of a suspected heart attack.
According to BBC Sport, his current club, Moldovan outfit Sheriff Tiraspol, reported he became ill and died on Sunday in his home country Brazil.
He joined the Potters in 2014 but left in January this year after injuries limited him to just two senior appearances for the club.
Stoke and Fleetwood Town, where he spent a stint on loan in 2015, paid tribute to him on Twitter:
Per Fraser Nicholson for Stoke's official website, club chief executive Tony Scholes said: "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.
