Stoke manager, Mark Hughes, has welcomed Nigerian star, Osaze Odemwingie, back to training.
Hughes, who has already lost another Nigerian, Victor Moses, for the season with a hamstring injury, is now set to be without Spanish central defender, Muniesa, for the foreseeable future.
Osaze has trained with the group fully in two sessions now, on Thursday and earlier today, and thankfully came through everything.
But Hughes did have better news about Odemwingie, after the striker came through his first two days of full training following six months out with a knee injury.
“Odemwingie has trained with the group fully in two sessions now, on Thursday and earlier today, and thankfully came through everything,” he added.
“We are delighted to have him back amongst the group again because we have missed him this season. He made a huge impact last season and we would have utilised him this year, I’m sure of that. We will bide our time with him, but we do want to get him on the pitch before the end of the season; that is the aim.”
