However, he is back in the fold under Juric and may well be involved in upcoming games.
Juric told reporters: “He's worked the last seven days with me and really seriously. He's really motivated and I think as a club we have a need for everybody.
“We will see this week. I am sure that he will work hard and then we will decide.
“I hope that we can use him in the future.”
On incoming signings, Juric added: “No, we are many, too many. If I understand well, we have to give players back or a loan and then decide to bring somebody.”
