Interim manager Terry Connor has insisted that Roger Johnson remains part of his plans at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The centre-back's recent performances have come in for much criticism from pundits, while he was also seen having a verbal altercation with goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey during Saturday's 3-2 home loss to Bolton Wanderers.
However, Connor has revealed that the former Birmingham City defender is "very much" a valued member of his squad.
"Roger's very much part of what we're doing," said Connor. "He's part of our team and has played the last two games.
"He's listened to what's been said and has worked along with his teammates."
Johnson joined Wolves in the summer.
