Albion striker Peter Odemwingie has resolved his differences with Nigeria coach Samson Siasia after talks between the pair.

The Nigerian FA arranged the meeting, which ended with Odemwingie and Siasia both ready to work together again.

The frosty relationship between them came to a head when Siasia left him out of the games against Argentina and Ethiopia in June.

But Siasia insists he will now recall Odemwingie.

He said: "No problems again. We're on the same page and things can move ahead in the best interest of Nigerian football.

"I like Odemwingie very much, due to his enthusiasm and commitment."

Odemwingie is set for a recall in a friendly against Ghana at Watford on August 9, five days before Albion's big kick-off against Manchester United.

The Ghana game is a warm-up for Nigeria's crucial 2012 African Nations Cup qualifier away to Madagascar on September 3.
