West Brom v Cardiff injury news: Five out and four doubts for Championship clash
Nine players could miss West Bromwich Albion v Cardiff City through injury.
West Brom suffered a new injury blow midweek as central defender Kyle Bartley missed the 0-0 draw with Blackburn Rovers.
Carlos Corberan revealed post-match that Bartley is working through a flare-up from an existing knee injury. The 33-year-old suffered swelling and soreness after the 1-1 draw at Oxford United – and the symptoms didn’t disappear quickly enough for West Brom’s midweek outing.
Daryl Dike, who has been out since April with an Achilles tendon injury, is edging ever closer to a return and can now be considered a doubt rather than an out. That’s a huge boost for Albion as the American can be utilised when Josh Maja isn’t firing up top.
Mason Holgate is another doubt as the Everton loanee picked up an issue on international duty with Jamaica. The versatile defender felt a twang in his quad and wasn’t risked against Blackburn. It awaits to be seen if he’ll be fit enough to make the bench this weekend.
