West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie has been disciplined over his conduct during the past two weeks

West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie has been disciplined over his conduct during the past two weeks. The Nigeria international has apologised for his series of Twitter attacks against the club after having a transfer request rejected.

Odemwingie also turned up at Loftus Road on transfer deadline day without Albions permission but a proposed move to QPR collapsed.

Albion said in a statement: “West Brom have taken disciplinary action against striker Peter Odemwingie in respect of his conduct over the past fortnight. Odemwingie has accepted his punishment. He will now resume full training with his team-mates and is available for selection.”

Odemwingie said: “I understand how my actions have been viewed and I want to apologise to the club and our supporters for any distress I have caused.”
