Baggies hoping for a fitness boost from Odemwingie
Monday 29th August 2011, 11:30AM BST.
Albion hope Peter Odemwingie will be fit to face Norwich in their next Premier League match after the striker was hit with a recurrence of his ankle injury.
Odemwingie sat out yesterday’s Hawthorns defeat to Stoke after his ankle problems returned on the eve of the game. But the Baggies are optimistic the 30-year-old will recover in time to face Norwich at Carrow Road on September 11.
Boss Roy Hodgson confirmed: “He played for the final 15 minutes last Saturday and trained on Monday and Tuesday. He then had two days off and when he came back his injury was plaguing him again so we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
“Having played (at Chelsea) and trained, I thought his ankle would be OK. But it isn’t so we’ll have to wait and see when it will be.
