Hodgson considers Odemwingie role

West Brom coach Roy Hodgson is considering whether to give a first start of the season to striker Peter Odemwingie in Sunday’s home Premier League clash with Stoke.

The Nigeria international, Albion’s top scorer with 15 goals last term, has recovered from an ankle injury suffered in pre-season and came on as a substitute during last weekend’s 2-1 defeat at Chelsea.
