Westwood has been with Posh since 2007

Peterborough United defender Chris Westwood has said he does not know whether his future lies at London Road after making his Posh comeback.

The 31-year-old has spent the past few weeks on loan at Cheltenham, but made his return to action with Posh against Leyton Orient on Tuesday.

Westwood told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I don't know what will happen now, only time will tell.

"Obviously we won the game but Gabby Zakuani will be back for Saturday."

Westwood was recalled from his loan spell at Cheltenham following the return of James Chester to Manchester United.

Zakuani was set to start for Posh on Tuesday, but was forced to miss the match after his partner went in labour.

Westwood partnered Charlie Lee in central defence as Posh claimed a 3-2 win at Leyton Orient.

"It was good to be back and straight back in the team, and we won the match as well so it was good all round," he said.

"I've only been away two months away, so it was just like walking back in after a weekend off," he said.

Westwood made nine appearances whilst on loan with Cheltenham, scoring two goals.

I didn't enjoy being on the losing side so much, but it was nice to be out there playing football each Saturday Chris Westwood on his loan spell at Cheltenham

He would have been happy to extend his stay at Whaddon Road but, with the club struggling at the foot of the League One table, there was no money available to make the move.

"I didn't enjoy being on the losing side so much, but it was nice to be out there playing football each Saturday," he said.

"I spoke to Martin Allen on Friday and he said he would like to keep me, but they're struggling with their finances."

Westwood was a first team regular at Posh prior to the arrival of Zakuani.

The former Walsall man has just over a year remaining on his contract at London Road.
