West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie has
been told that he still has a part to play this season
after being recalled to the travelling party for
Monday's 2-0 win at Liverpool.
.
Although Odemwingie was not part of Albion's 17-
man matchday squad, boss Steve Clarke involved
him by having the Nigeria international sat on the
bench.
.
And he has already been welcomed back into the
Albion dressing room.
.
"The line's been drawn. Everything is fine," said
defender Gareth McAuley.
.
"We're back talking about football. That's how we're
looking at it.
.
"The lads realise that, if Pete is on the pitch, playing
well and scoring goals, everyone benefits from it.
.
"When we're out there together and everyone is
pulling together we're a good side.
.
"We need Pete back on the
pitch, playing and scoring goals
for us," added McAuley, whose
80th-minute header, his first
goal in over five months, put the
Baggies on course to complete a
first league double over
Liverpool since 1967.
.
After a month of speculation
over a mooted move to QPR, 31-
year-old Odemwingie made
major headlines on deadline day when, despite his
transfer request being rejected and the two clubs not
having agreed a fee, he turned up at Loftus Road.
.
But now reports reaching me is that all is settled.
