According to a report from the Express & Star, West Brom have received a timely boost with the news that Kieran Gibbs and Tosin Adarabioyo have returned to training ahead of their clash with Birmingham City next Friday.

The Baggies currently sit in fourth spot in the Championship table, seven points adrift of the automatic promotion places, and they will be looking for a really strong finish to the season, in an attempt to crack the top two.

Gibbs, 29, has not played for West Brom since February 23rd, whilst Adarabioyo, 21, has not featured since his side’s draw with Ipswich Town earlier this month.

The two players have been key members of the Baggies squad this season, so having them back and available for selection in time for next week’s clash with Birmingham will be a huge boost for the Black Country outfit.

West Brom need to string together a run of victories, if they are to have any chance whatsoever of finishing inside the top two come May, and having Gibbs and Adarabioyo back will stand them in great stead as they head into the final two months of the season.
