Posted Tuesday, February 12, 2019 by PA

West Brom boss Darren Moore has reported no new injury problems for his side’s home game against Nottingham Forest.

Jacob Murphy and Stefan Johansen returned to the starting line-up in the weekend win at Stoke, while fellow loanee Jefferson Montero stepped off the bench and all three are expected to feature again.

Winger Matt Phillips is still out due to an ankle problem, while Wes Hoolahan and Kyle Bartley are among those pushing for starts.

Midfielder James Morrison has been sidelined with an ankle injury and last appeared for the Baggies in early January.

Forest pair Yohan Benalouane and Jack Colback return to contention following respective one and two-game bans.

Recent signing Molla Wague is pushing for his first start after stepping off the bench to score on his debut in Saturday’s home win against Brentford.

Boss Martin O’Neill also handed home debuts to defender Alex Milosevic and forward Leo Bonatini, while midfielder Ryan Yates made his first league start and it remains to be seen if they all continue.

Full-back Tendayi Darikwa is hoping to feature after recently completing a three-game ban, but fellow defender Michael Dawson (hamstring) is still out.
