Early team news for West Brom


West Brom manager 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.

Odemwingie, Albion's top scorer with 15 goals last season, 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.

Zoltan Gera is the only player currently out injured ane he is building up his fitness after ankle surgery.

West Brom Squad: Foster, Reid, Tamas, Dawson, Olsson, Shorey, Brunt, Scharner, Mulumbu, Morrison, Long, Tchoyi, Odemwingie, Dorrans, Fulop, Cox, Jara, McAuley, Cech, Thomas.
