Tony Pulis expects majority of West Brom's injured players to be fit for Deportivo La Coruna
Tony Pulis expects the majority of his crocked players to be fit this weekend for Albion's final warm-up game of the summer.
Jake Livermore, James McClean, Chris Brunt, Matt Phillips and Craig Dawson all sat out Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw with Port Vale after picking up knocks in recent weeks.
Gareth McAuley and James Morrison are already sidelined with injury and won’t be travelling to Spain to face Pepe Mel’s Deportivo La Coruna side.
But Pulis hopes they are the only two absentees this weekend before Albion's season-opener against Bournemouth on August 12.
“We're hoping everyone will be ok apart from Morrison and McAuley for the Deportivo game,” said Pulis. “And I think everyone will be around fit for when the season starts.”
It’s a worryingly long injury list for such a small squad; highlighted at Vale Park by the amount of youth team players Pulis was forced to play.
