West Brom boss Roy Hodgson yesterday revealed that Peter Odemwingie requires no surgery following aggravation of an ankle injury on international duty.
But Hodgson is confident the Nigerian will not require any kind of surgery and will be fine after some rest.
Hodgson said: "There is no question of an operation for Peter. The doctor, Mark Gillett, has a very good relationship with him and whenever Peter has a poor game he looks to his ankle.
"That's what he's been doing ever since I've been at the club, and whenever things aren't going his way and he's not in top form he looks at his ankle. Peter was as fit as a butcher's dog when he left here to go to Nigeria.
"I can't say what happened in the Nigeria game but after our game against Sunderland, and in the games leading up to it, there was no suggestion whatsoever that he had any injury problems and as a result he went off to play for Nigeria 100percent.
"I don't know if anything happened in the Nigeria game, but we don't have any information to that effect."
