West Brom striker Odemwingie insists no Hodgson rift

West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie insists there's never been a problem with manager Roy Hodgson.

The Nigeria international struck a hat-trick in victory at Wolves on Sunday.

He said: "We are fine and we always were. If we weren't, I would have been talking about leaving the club or something else.

"But he told me that whatever he says can be out of frustrating and not anger.

"He is an experienced person and I have to respect him, my manager.

"Sometimes I felt it was a bit harsh on me, and I said that to him, but he said I shouldn't take it in a bad way.

"He said he was frustrated that I wasn't available (because of injury) and that was it."
