New West Brom duo currently unavailable

Two of Tony Mowbray's January signings are currently unavailable due to injury which is putting strain on the West Brom team.

Both Filipe Teixeira and Youssouf Mulumbu will not play this weekend in the Baggies vital clash with Everton at Goodison Park leaving Mowbray with plenty of headaches.

"Whether Filipe trains on Thursday, we'll have to wait and see," he told the club's official website.

"The main injury he's got at the moment is a fractured toe.

"It's frustrating for [Mulumbu]. He trained very well during our four days away in Spain. For no apparent reason, he felt a thigh problem in training on Friday.

"He pulled up, which was a blow to him and potentially to us, because he might have had a part to play at Fulham. Hopefully, it is just a few strained fibres and not a tear because it was very innocuous.

"Maybe it's just caught up with him a little bit after a week or two. Hopefully, it's not too bad, although I would suggest he probably won't be ready for Saturday or Tuesday."
