Stoke City manager Michael O'Neill said out-of-favour striker Mame Diouf is part of his plans at the club despite not starting a game since November 2018.
Diouf is struggling for playing time in Staffordshire and all of his six outings for the Potters this season have come as a substitute. His lack of action with the first-team saw him demoted to the U23 side with whom he has played two games this season.
The former Manchester United forward returned to England to join Stoke City in 2014 after a brief stint with Bundesliga outfit Hannover 96.
