West Brom hold back Teixeira

West Brom boss Tony Mowbray is holding back midfielder Filipe Teixeira's return.

"Filipe's okay - we hope to have him back training today," said Mowbray. "Last week wasn't a major problem - just a tightness in his calf and a little too soon for him.

"If he needs a few more days then we will wait and see. But Saturday will come too soon I would suggest - he probably needs another week's training.

"We may play him in the reserves tomorrow but we'll see."
