Stoke City’s Peter Odemwingie, has admitted that he is not yet ready for the new season, which kicks off next weekend.
The Nigerian striker was ruled out for most of last season with a knee ligament injury and says he has not fully recovered.
Odemwingie has featured in pre-season games against Singapore, Everton and Brentford, but says he still needs time to be at his best.
“I’m still a few months away from being 100%, but I am happy with where I am now,” he told Stoke City Player.
“I do all the necessary work. Fitness now is what I want to achieve – there’s no shortcuts.
“I just have to make those efforts off the ball as well, which I try my best to do, which will bring me back to my best physical condition.
The former West Brom man only just signed a new one-year deal to stay at the Britannia.
