Peter Odemwingie believes rushing back from injury too early was a mistake after he suffered a relapse in West Brom’s second game of the season.
The striker recently signed a contract extension with the club and, having just returned from an injury, picked up another niggle at Chelsea on August 20.
He was subsequently omitted from West Brom’s team for the game against Stoke, which they went on to lose 1-0, but hopes to be back on September 11 for the match against Norwich.
“Unfortunately the action hasn’t started for me yet,” he told the Birmingham Mail.
“Maybe it was a mistake on the part of the medics as well as myself in underestimating the injury.
“I played 20 minutes against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and did not expect to be out [against Stoke] but it’s unfortunate.
“That’s football for you and I will have to keep working hard to make sure I come back to action very soon.”
