Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio says Norwich's Chris Martin will not be returning to the club and expects him to move to the Championship.

The 24-year-old's future appears to lie away from Carrow Road after the striker was left off Chris Hughton's latest 25-man Premier League squad list.

Martin has spent the majority of the season on loan at Swindon but returned to his parent club at the weekend after the Robins opted against extending his temporary deal.

Di Canio has now gone on record to say he expects the Canaries to allow Martin to join a Championship club, with Derby linked with a move.

"Absolutely not. He took one month to get fit and see him as an athlete as he was in the past," said the Italian.

"Even if I had an intention to keep him, in the last few days before the transfer window finished, he said to me he had a chance or he still has a chance to move to a different club - maybe the Championship."
