Injuries mount for Baggies

West Brom could be without eight first-team regulars as their injury crisis mounts ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup third-round clash with Cardiff at the Hawthorns.

Captain Chris Brunt (ankle) has joined Zoltan Gera (knee), striker Shane Long (back) and defender Steven Reid on the sidelines.

Centre-back Jonas Olsson (calf), winger Jerome Thomas (groin) plus midfielders James Morrison (hamstring) and Youssouf Mulumbu (groin) are all rated as doubtful.

Provisional squad: Foster, Fulop, Jones, Jara Reyes, Olsson, McAuley, Dawson, Tamas, Mattock, Shorey, Mulumbu, Morrison, Scharner, Thorne, Dorrans, Thomas, Tchoyi, Cox, Fortune, Odemwingie, Bednar.
