Team news and updates on injuries are in ahead of the highly anticipated EFL Championship match between West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City. West Bromwich Albion, coming off another impressive victory over Cardiff City, are filled with confidence as they return to The Hawthorns to face the league leaders. With four wins in their last five matches, the Baggies seem to be in top form, even outperforming the Foxes who have secured three wins in the same period. However, Leicester City have the advantage in terms of team news as they have only one player who may be unavailable, while West Bromwich Albion have four players who could potentially miss out. Let’s take a closer look at the latest updates.
- Jed Wallace (West Bromwich Albion) – questionable
The Albion captain was forced off the pitch during the first half of their victory over Cardiff midweek. Manager Corberan has stated that Wallace’s availability for the upcoming match is uncertain and will depend on his recovery. - Nathaniel Chalobah (West Bromwich Albion) – fit to play
Chalobah had a brief absence from the squad due to a kick he received in the game against Southampton. However, he returned to the bench during the Cardiff match and is now deemed available for selection. - Adam Reach (West Bromwich Albion) – sidelined
Reach is currently undergoing recovery following surgery on his quadricep. It is expected that he will be out of action until at least mid-December, possibly January. - Daryl Dike (West Bromwich Albion) – sidelined
Dike’s Achilles tendon injury is progressing well, and there is a possibility that he could make a comeback just before the end of the year.
Both teams will be eager to secure a victory in this crucial clash. With West Bromwich Albion in great form but hindered by potential absences, and Leicester City leading the championship, the match promises to be an exciting and closely contested encounter.
