Martis set to return for struggling West Brom

West Brom are set to receive a much-needed boost with the return to fitness of defender Shelton Martis.

The centre-back has missed the past two games for the Baggies and will be welcomed by Tony Mowbray who says there are still a few players in the squad carrying niggles.

"There are a few carrying little knocks and strains and a few didn't cool down on Monday because they were having treatment," Mowbray told the club's official website.

"But generally everybody is fine and there are no new injuries to concern us.

"Shelton trained yesterday with the players who didn't play in the game. "Some went to play for the reserves and some continued with a more intensive fitness session - and Shelton joined in with that group."
