West Bromwich Albion boss Roberto di Matteo won't rush Ishmael Miller's return from injury.

Miller could join in training at the end of this week but Di Matteo insists they must be patient with the Baggies striker.

"We're hopeful Ishmael is going to train with the team by the end of this week," he said.

"But he's been out for a while again so he's not going to be 100 per cent match fit. We need to build him up slowly."
