Odemwingie suffered a thigh injury in training last Thursday and missed the 4-2 defeat of Yeovil in Tuesday night's Capital One Cup second round tie.
The Baggies won thanks to a brace by Shane Long, a super strike from Chris Brunt and a Craig Dawson effort.
Baggies joint No.2 Keith Downing hopes that Odemwingie and some of Albion’s walking wounded will be ready for Saturday.
“We’ve had a few bumps and bruises,” said Downing.
“We had six or seven players who had knocks and strains so the medical staff are working hard ahead of Saturday – though I stress none of them are serious.
“I don’t think Peter’s far away. We’ll have to assess it on Thursday and nearer the weekend we will have a bit more light on the injury but it’s not a serious one so I think he will be very close to being in the squad.
