James Morrison in line for West Brom comeback against Crystal Palace
Posted Monday, September 24, 2018 by PA
West Brom midfielder James Morrison may be fit to feature in the Carabao Cup clash with Crystal Palace.
Morrison has been sidelined by a leg injury since the start of the month but played 61 minutes for the Baggies’ under-23 side on Friday.
Albion boss Darren Moore has no other selection concerns for the third-round tie.
He rotated his squad in the previous round against Mansfield, which could mean opportunities for the likes of Gareth Barry and Oliver Burke.
Germany midfielder Max Meyer could step into Crystal Palace’s starting XI.
Former Baggies manager Roy Hodgson will take his Eagles to his old Hawthorns stomping ground looking to rotate his resources after Saturday’s goalless Premier League draw with Newcastle.
Hodgson will hope Wilfried Zaha shakes off a minor back strain, but could still rest the influential forward, who battled through the complaint in Palace’s Selhurst Park weekend stalemate.
Jason Puncheon, Jairo Riedewald and Jeffrey Schlupp will all come into contention to start in the Black Country.
