Norwich City midfielder Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe is still a part of manager Alex Neil’s plans ahead of their Premier League run-in, reports the Pink’Un.
The Belgian international went seven weeks without making an appearance for the first team, which ended in his team’s victory at the Hawthorns last weekend as he made a late appearance from the bench to see out the vital 1-0 win.
Odjidja’s last start for the Canaries was not a memorable one. He was one of many to perform poorly in a 3-0 defeat at Bournemouth. This loss of form coinciding with a calf injury had seen him out of favour in the City midfield.
Speculation had started to grow that the 27-year-old would be sent out on loan, an option Alex Neil had taken earlier on in the season, sending him to Rotherham in order to get more first-team minutes under his belt.
But the loan deadline closed last Thursday, meaning Odjidja will remain at Carrow Road until at least the summer.
Manager Neil said: “Vadis was a bit unfortunate in that he was involved with the squad, played a few games and then he got a calf injury that ruled him out for a couple of weeks but he is certainly in and around the squad .”
Injuries to both Alex Tettey and Nathan Redmond will mean Norwich will need all the options they can muster with season-defining games coming up against relegation rivals Newcastle and Sunderland.
