No injuries for Baggies as Farmer quits board

West Brom have no new injury worries ahead of Saturday’s Barclays Premier League match against West Ham.

Caretaker head coach Michael Appleton has said that Marek Cech should be available after recovering from a groin strain.

Graham Dorrans, who pulled out of the Scotland squad that played Northern Ireland in midweek, should have shaken off his ankle knock in time.

Team (from): Carson, Cech, Ibanez, Morrison, Barnes, Brunt, Reid, Myhill, Fortune, Dorrans, Shorey, Thomas, Mulumbu, Zuiverloon, Meite, Odemwingie, Fortune, Tchoyi, Scharner, Thomas, Cox, Vela, Tamas, Olsson, Jara.

Meanwhile, West Brom non-executive director Jeff Farmer has stepped down with immediate effect.

Farmer, a former national newspaper journalist and ex-head of sports productions at ITV, has been on the Baggies board for eight years.

He was Albion’s press relations and media consultant and has left for personal reasons.

Farmer said: “My decision has been taken for personal reasons and a desire to concentrate on other priorities in my life.

“The departure of Roberto Di Matteo as head coach has not directly influenced my decision.”
