£70,000-a-week star ruled out of West Brom vs Blackburn as injury return date set
As West Bromwich Albion look to get back to winning ways for the first time in four games, they’ll have to do so without one of Carlos Coberan’s summer arrivals in yet another frustrating blow.
West Brom injury news
All was going well for the Baggies at the very start of the campaign. They looked destined to take Sunderland’s top spot sooner rather than later and seemed one of the firm favourites to earn promotion. A disappointing run of four games without victory has since brought their momentum to a crashing halt, however, with last weekend’s 1-1 draw against newly promoted Oxford United summing up their recent frustrations.
That run has suddenly added extra importance on tonight’s trip to face Blackburn Rovers, who have the chance to leapfrog the Baggies with victory and cement what has been an impressive start given how they struggled near the foot of the Championship last season.
So, Corberan will be well aware of the challenge ahead and a challenge which has only been made more difficult by recent injury news. As confirmed by the manager, Mason Holgate will now miss West Brom’s trip to face Blackburn as the wait for his debut goes on since arriving on loan from Everton in the summer transfer window.
