West Brom boss Hodgson reveals Odemwingie injury setback

West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson admits Peter Odemwingie has suffered an ankle injury setback.

After defeat to Stoke City, Albion's woe was compounded by the news striker Odemwingie has suffered a reaction to his ankle problem suffered during pre-season.

Hodgson said: "How serious it is, we don't know. He played last Saturday for 10 minutes against Chelsea, he trained Monday-Tuesday, then we had two days off.

"When we came back in, the ankle injury was plaguing him again. I'll have to wait and see. I thought on Tuesday when I left the training ground that he would be fit at the weekend.

"But his ankle isn't okay and we will have to wait and see when it will be."
