da bet7k： West Bromwich Albion forward Peter Odemwingie is hoping to be fit for his side’s trip to Manchester City on Saturday.
da wazamba： The Baggies leading goalscorer was trodden on in Albion’s draw against Wigan Athletic on Tuesday, but said it was a minor concern for manager Roberto di Matteo.
“Unfortunately, someone stepped on my ankle in the first half,” Odemwingie told the Birmingham Mail.
“I will get some treatment and hopefully it will not swell up and I will prepare for Saturday.”
“It is always interesting to play against a big team. I know it is a big stadium. I haven’t played there so I am hoping there will be no difficulties with my ankle.”
“City are a big club. It will be nice to play against them and we remember the last game we lost there so I’m hoping we can at least get a point from them.”
City boss Roberto Mancini has already confirmed striker Mario Balotelli not be rushed back for the clash at Eastlands, while Adam Johnson remains on the long-term injury list with a knee problem and Micah Richards is doubtful with an ankle complaint.
The Blues won the reverse fixture at the Hawthorns 2-0 in November courtesy of a Balotelli brace, and City also took the spoils the last time the two sides met in Manchester when the then Mark Hughes-led City won 4-2.
Albion have scored just once in their past five away fixtures in the Premier League since their 4-1 drubbing of Everton at Goodison Park in November.
