Brom are not bothered that Osaze Odemwingie and DR Congo midfielder
Youssouf Mulumbu may be away from the club due to international
engagements in January.
Both players may both be unavailable to
the Baggies early next year if they are selected for the Africa Cup of
Nations in South Africa by their respective countries.
But Baggies manager Steve Clarke insists
they have enough strength in depth to cope if the pair are called up
for the event from January 19 to February 10 next year.
“We spoke about it at the start of the
season. We knew we had the possibility of losing Youssouf if he decided
to come out of international retirement, which he did,” the Scotsman
told the club’s official website.
“I’m not really sure about Peter
(Odemwingie). He hasn’t been called up to a Nigeria squad since I’ve
been here. I don’t know what his position is.
“We discussed it and we think we have enough in the squad to cover any absences in January.
“If not, it’s a good month for it
because the transfer window is open again in January, and if you need to
address the situation you can.
“Many things can change between now and January, but as things stand we’re comfortable with the squad we’ve got.”
