Glenn Loovens could soon be bidding farewell to Wednesday after four and a half years at Hillsborough.
The 34-year-old club skipper, whose contract runs out at the end of the season, has failed to make the squad in recent weeks after returning to action following injury.
Manager Jos Luhukay said: “I spoke with Glenn about how I see the situation. It is very open.
“Glenn is a fantastic person and an unbelievably positive character. He understands my decisions. It is important for him and me.
“He has had very good performances in the last few years at the club. But I must also look to the quality and to the performance from the whole team and also from Glenn.
“I think Glenn is not a young player anymore. We have played a lot of the games and it is not easy when you come in at that age to be 100 per cent.”
Luhukay added that he would not be speaking with Loovens about his future until the end of the season, along with other players who will also be out of contract.
