West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie will be welcomed back into the squad when he returns.<br /><br />The 31 year old had a transfer request rejected and travelled to London in a bid to join QPR, despite the two clubs not having agreed a fee.<br /><br />"It's fine. The lads realise that if Pete is on the pitch, playing well and scoring goals, everyone benefits from it," said defender Gareth McAuley.<br /><br />"That's how we're looking at it. Everything is fine now. The line has been drawn and now we're back talking about football.<br /><br />"When we're out there together and everyone is pulling together we're a good side. We need Pete back on the pitch, playing and scoring goals for us."<br /><br />The Nigeria international has since been fined two weeks' wages and accepted the punishment, enabling him to return to the first-team set-up.<br /><br />Goalkeeper Ben Foster said: "It was an unfortunate incident but we've just got to carry on. Peter is an important part of our team.<br /><br />"When he's on form he's an absolute world-beater, so we will welcome him back into the squad with no qualms whatsoever."<br /><br />&nbsp;-<b>Thanks to Tribalfootball.com</b><br /><br />Photo Credit: West Brom<br /><br />
