Odemwingie
has only scored once in his last 14 appearances for West Brom

Peter Odemwingie is facing the prospect
of another fine from West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace following his
latest Twitter rant.
The Nigeria international is being
investigated by the club for a potential breach of Albion's rules on social
networking after his comments on Sunday evening.
The 31-year-old is likely to be handed
another fine of two weeks' wages, understood to be around £80,000, for breach
of club regulations.
Albion have issued a brief statement
regarding the latest problem with the striker, following his notorious January
fall-out over a potential move to Queens Park Rangers.
"The club are aware of what Peter
has said and we will deal with it internally," an Albion spokesman said.
Odemwingie's latest accusations against
the club come less than a month after Peace claimed in a statement that the
player had "promised to comply with all club regulations moving
forward".
His tweets criticised the decision to
keep him on the substitutes' bench since his fall-out with the club and also
insisted that Albion knew about his deadline-day drive to QPR.
When one Albion fan replied to his
tweets, telling Odemwingie "you should be sacked", he replied, saying
"that's my wish".
Odemwingie also tweeted: "Keeping
me on the bench now is worst than what they did on the 31st.
"If they like they shouldn't even
give me 10 mins to play. Threatening to ruin my career? Career I closed already
last summer? No harm to me."
Albion are unlikely to sack the striker
and risk losing the potential of a £3 million transfer sale at the end of the
season. However, it now seems certain he will be sold in the summer.
