Teixeira close to Baggies return

West Brom midfielder Filipe Teixeira is poised to start on the comeback trail next week after being sidelined for more than six months with a knee problem.

The Portuguese player, 27, has not tasted first-team action since being carried off on a stretcher during the 3-0 home success over Plymouth in early March with cruciate ligament damage and undergoing surgery.
