The Villans host the Baggies in the Championship playoff semi-final first leg at Villa Park this Saturday.
With Aston Villa preparing for their Championship playoff semi-final against West Bromwich Albion, the B6 club has issued an update which will come as a relief to fans.
The Villans have been beset with injuries to key players for much of the season, with the likes of the Birmingham Mail having often made reference to numerous injury crises – as per this report on 4 January.

The return leg, meanwhile, takes place on Tuesday 14 May at The Hawthorns and the winner of the semi-final between the two West Midlands sides will face either Derby County or Leeds United at Wembley Stadium on Monday 27 May.
