West Brom's Adam Reach ruled out for rest of season
Albion's Adam Reach has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a quad injury.
The utility man, who started two of the last three games prior to today's damaging 3-1 reverse at Rotherham United, injured his quadriceps muscle in training yesterday.
Rehab time has been given as eight to 10 weeks, meaning the 30-year-old will play no further part in the final month of this season.
It is the latest fitness blow to a toiling Baggies squad in what seems to be weekly negative updates in that department. Reach missed out on the trip to South Yorkshire, meaning Carlos Corberan had to name academy duo Jamie Andrew and Jovan Malcolm among the substitute.
"In the previous training, he made one movement and felt a pain," Corberan revealed.
"He felt unwell in the quadriceps. Unfortunately we have the worst news, because he has injured the tendon in the quadriceps. He will be out for between eight to ten weeks.
"We know that difficulty is part of our work. We need to take responsibilities.
"We need to analyse and find out these things, that don't allow us to be a competitive team, to help us, because it's the only way we can change.
"We must find solutions, we have enough players to play and compete better than we did today."
Okay Yokuslu missed the trip to Rotherham after taking a kick to the ankle late on in the goalless draw against Millwall the previous weekend.
That was just days after Republic of Ireland duo Dara O'Shea and Jayson Molumby were ruled out for lengthy spells – in O'Shea's case the rest of the season – after reporting back from international duty.
Wing duo Matt Phillips and Grady Diangana have been out for some time and neither will play a further part this season. Goalkeeper Alex Palmer has been sidelined since February and only returned to Albion's matchday 18 on the bench in South Yorkshire.
