Peter Odemwingie has been disciplined over of his conduct during the past two weeks but is now back available for first team selection.

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 Albion's 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 first-team 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.

"I want to reassure everyone at the club and our fans that I will continue to give my all whenever I am selected.

"We have enjoyed a good season so far and I aim to play my part in keeping the club as high up the table as possible."

Albion chairman Jeremy Peace added: "This has been an extremely difficult time for the club and it was imperative that we dealt with such a serious matter both fully and correctly."
