Odemwingie hits back at injury criticism

West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie takes to Twitter to prove that he isn't exaggerating his knee injury.

West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie has slammed suggestions that he is exaggerating his injury woes.

The 30-year-old was criticised by manager Roy Hodgson, who described the frontman's prolonged absence as "frustrating".

The Nigeria international responded by posting a picture of himself on Twitter, pressing down on his injured knee with the post: "Picture of injury. Fingerprints to show an edema [accumulation of fluid], still present after three and a half weeks. Trained with the group today [Thursday]."

The former Lille forward subsequently deleted a tweet stating: "Picture taken now. My dear West Brom fans, I do care".

Odemwingie, who claimed 15 goals for the Baggies last season, has been sidelined for a month with his knee problem.
