West Brom's Thomas out of Cup clash

Jerome Thomas is set to miss West Brom’s Carling Cup second-round tie away to Leyton Orient after twisting his ankle during the 1-0 win over Sunderland at the weekend.

The 27-year-old was replaced by Giles Barnes at half-time against the Black Cats and will be assessed this week by Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo.
