West Bromwich Albion are without Craig Dawson for around eight weeks.
West Bromwich Albion must do without Craig Dawson for the much of the remainder of 2017 due to injury.
The versatile defender had recently enjoyed a run of games at right-back, and leaves behind only Allan Nyom as a natural successor in that position.
The Baggies are thin on the ground in general defensively, with Jonny Evans also carrying a knock ahead of Saturday’s visit of Manchester City. So could they turn to a rumoured autumn target, who is still without a club?
According to the Daily Mail, both West Brom and Leicester were interested in signing Bacary Sagna, following his release by City in June.
Though 34, the Frenchman can play anywhere across the back four if required, and would be a useful addition if only in the short term.
If they do, they may have to move fast, however, with Wolfsburg strongly linked with a move for Sagna this week – although, at the time of writing, nothing has been confirmed.
Would Sagna be a good signing for West Bromwich Albion?
