Thomas is presently away with Honduras playing in the Gold Cup, but there has been speculation over the long term future of the 26 year old given his absence from the starting eleven since February.
Latics boss Roberto Martinez has moved quickly to quash any potential rumours surrounding Thomas. The Spaniard told the Wigan Evening Post that Thomas is a key member of his squad.
Martinez is quoted: "Hendry is a player who needs to be at 100 per cent from a physical point of view to be able to do himself justice and play his usual high-intensity game,
"Although he started the season really well, he paid the penalty for playing in the World Cup last summer and not having a proper rest.
“The Premier League can be a really cruel competition in that respect, and the season was probably a bit too long for him.
“Hopefully he’ll come back for pre-season raring to go and will be able to rediscover that intensity that we all associate with Hendry.
“If he can do that, he’ll give us even greater competition for places in that midfield.”
