West Bromwich Albion coach, Steve Clarke, has said that Peter Osaze Odemwingie, has put behind his disappointment at being snubbed by Nigeria and is looking forward to helping the club surge up the Premier League table.
The 31-year-old striker was not selected by coach Stephen Keshi for the Africa Cup of Nations, despite making himself availabloe for selection.
“Peter made himself available for Nigeria and they chose not to pick him,” Clarke said.
“He is obviously slightly disappointed that they have made that choice but he is delighted that he can stay and help us.
“I spoke to him and it is the choice of the Nigerian coach and he respects that choice. But he looks forward to helping us get a few more points instead of going away.”
Odemwingie has scored four goals so far for West Brom this season.
