Osaze Is Fast Recovering, Says Stoke Coach

Stoke City coach Mark Hughes is confident that Peter Odemwingie will soon be available for selection again after a spell on the sidelines due to injury.

The 33-year-old has not made a competitive appearance for the Potters since being stretchered out of a 1-0 win at Manchester City in late August with knee ligament damage.

However, Hughes believes the Nigeria international will soon be able to resume squad training and take the next step in his recovery.

“Hopefully in the next two to three weeks we may well see him back in the group,” Hughes told Stokesentinel.co.uk

“If he’s back in the group then you’re looking at another couple of weeks before he’s available for selection.

“He’s as close as he been to returning and we’re encouraged by that.”

Odemwingie scored five goals as he sparked Stoke’s surge up the table in the second half of last season after joining from Cardiff in a swap deal involving Kenwyne Jones."
