The 33-year-old has returned from a loan spell with Stoke after being disciplined for a breach of club rules. "His agent mentioned the possibility of him going somewhere abroad for the last few months. If that materialises, fine," O'Neill said of the player that made just one start during his time in Staffordshire. "If he just gets his head down here and if he is doing well enough, then he will be back in contention."
