West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie says he has been told not to return to training until next week.

The 31-year-old tried to force a move to QPR on transfer deadline day.

Odemwingie arrived at Loftus Road but West Brom said no fee had been agreed and he was not free to discuss personal terms.

Speaking outside the West Brom training ground on Friday, Odemwingie said: "I have been given a few days off and will be back in training next week."

However, although Odemwingie regrets his actions in travelling to London, he insists his long-term future remains away from The Hawthorns.

"I am a very emotional person who sometimes doesn't think," he told Sky Sports News on Friday.

"I will still leave the club. It is only a matter of time."

But although Odemwingie admitted he was perhaps a "little unprofessional" he defended himself by claiming the circumstances were not so different to when he joined West Brom from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2010 for £2.5m.

He also put Thursday's actions down to a misunderstanding.

"I came to this club (West Brom) in a wholly unprofessional way. I wasn't given any written permission by Lokomotiv Moscow but I arrived at this club. I did a medical, I don't think everything went so professional when I arrived," he added.
