Scharner out for Baggies

West Brom will be without suspended midfielder Paul Scharner for the Premier League derby with Wolves at Molineux on Sunday.

The former Wigan player serves a one-game ban after being sent off for the first time in domestic football in his career during last weekend’s 2-1 home success over Aston Villa.

Baggies boss Roy Hodgson will check on the fitness of skipper Chris Brunt and defender Steven Reid before finalising his line-up. The duo missed the win over Villa with hamstring and calf injuries respectively.

Provisional squad: Carson, Myhill, Reid, Hurst, Jara, Meite, Olsson, Pablo, Tamas, Shorey, Cech, Mulumbu, Brunt, Morrison, Cox, Vela, Tchoyi, Thomas, Barnes, Odemwingie, Miller, Fortune.
