The 27-year-old returned for the Baggies on Tuesday night, playing 10 minutes at Loftus Road, having been out since January 1st with a serious ankle injury.

“I’m delighted to have Matty back. That will do him the world of good. We know what he gives us so to have him in and around the squad is really pleasing so hopefully he’ll get stronger.”

West Brom currently sit in fourth spot in the Championship table, just one point adrift of the automatic promotion places, and having someone with Phillips’ quality back and available for the run-in will be a huge boost for the Black Country outfit.
