Player shortage for West Brom

West Brom will again only have 19 fit players, including two goalkeepers, to choose from for tomorrow’s home Barclays Premier League encounter with Blackburn.

Winger Jerome Thomas remains sidelined with a knee problem which kept him out of the defeat at Everton last weekend.

Midfielders Zoltan Gera and James Morrison (both knee) and right-back Steven Reid (foot) are long-term absentees.

Albion will be looking to end a run of four games without a win.

Provisional squad: Foster, Daniels, Jones, Olsson, McAuley, Tamas, Dawson, Ridgewell, Shorey, Mulumbu, Brunt, Scharner, Andrews, Dorrans, Tchoyi, Cox, Fortune, Long, Odemwingie.
