Jonny Evans reinstated as Baggies skipper

Jonny Evans is to be reinstated as West Brom captain, Baggies boss Alan Pardew has confirmed.

Evans was stripped of the armband against Southampton last weekend as fellow defender Gareth McAuley skippered the side for the FA Cup fifth-round tie.

Evans was one of four experienced West Brom players, along with Gareth Barry, Jake Livermore, and Boaz Myhill, to allegedly steal a taxi after breaking a club curfew during a warm weather training camp and team bounding exercise in Barcelona.
