Games that Kyle Bartley will now miss for West Brom after new injury update
After making it six games without victory in the Championship, West Bromwich Albion were handed more bad news courtesy of Carlos Corberan’s update on Kyle Bartley’s injury.
The Baggies started the season in fine form but have lost their winning touch in recent weeks, losing twice and drawing three times in their last five games with their latest disappointing afternoon coming in a 0-0 draw against in-form Cardiff City, Dropping down to fifth and eight points adrift of surprise leaders Sunderland as a result, West Brom must get back to winning ways at their next chance.
With Luton Town up next, West Brom should see the trip to face the struggling Hatters as the perfect chance to flip the narrative and turn a winless run of five games into an unbeaten run of five with four draws and one victory. However, if they are going to do that then they’ll be forced to do so without Bartley once again after he missed the draw against Cardiff.
As confirmed by Coberan, Bartley will now be sidelined for the next four to six weeks in a major blow for West Brom. The Baggies boss updated reporters on the defender’s injury, saying via the Express and Star: “The only one I can offer is that Bartley will be four to six weeks out of the team, that is all I can confirm so far.”
