West Bromwich Albion could have one of their key men back and available for selection at the weekend.
West Brom have received a timely injury boost ahead of their clash with Ipswich Town on Saturday, with Darren Moore suggesting that Matt Phillips is ready to return to action, as quoted by Walsall Live.
The 27-year-old has played a key role for the Baggies this season, chalking up five goals and six assists in 24 Championship outings thus far, but he has only played twice since January 1st, after suffering a serious ankle injury.
West Brom currently sit in fourth spot in the Championship table, seven points adrift of second placed Leeds United, so having Phillips back for the run-in will be a massive bonus for Darren Moore’s side.
The Baggies boss spoke to reporters yesterday, and suggested that the Scotland international should be ready to face the Tractor Boys at the Hawthorns on Saturday, as quoted by Walsall Live:
“Matty is OK and he should be fine for Saturday. He has only recently returned from his ankle injury and we don’t want to push him too hard, too soon.”
West Brom will be desperate to bounce back to the Premier League immediately this season, and they quite simply must show more consistency over the upcoming months, if they are to do just that.
Three points against Ipswich on Saturday would be a great place to start, and Phillips will be hoping that he can return to action in style, by helping his side to a much-needed victory.
