Super Eagles striker Peter Osaze Odemwingie will only get a new Stoke City contract, if he can return to 100 percent fitness.
He has been out of action due to a cruciate knee ligament injury even as his contract expires at the end of the season. Stoke City manager Mark Hughes assured that Osaze will get his wish of staying on at the Club, but that depends on his condition.
Hughes said “Peter’s still doing rehabilitation and progressing well.
“He’s probably at a critical stage of his recovery and needs to work hard to come back at the right level.
“When he does, that’s when we will discuss it – a new contract – and he understands that.
“The way he’s progressing would lead me to believe he will be back stronger.”
Osaze added:”I don’t want to be looked after for so many months and then just leave the club.
“But more important than that, I have to be the same player I was.”
