Long on standby as striker struggles
West Bromwich Albion,
Last updated:
Albion striker Marc-Antoine Fortune is doubtful but Jonas Olsson should return for Sunday's Premier League clash with Liverpool.
Fortune suffered a hamstring injury during last week's 1-0 home win over Queens Park Rangers and was substituted after an hour. If he is ruled out, Republic of Ireland hitman Shane Long will be in contention to replace him at Anfield.
Meanwhile, defender Olsson is expected to return to the squad after pulling out of the QPR clash during the warm-up, after feeling his groin tighten.
England Under-21 starlet Craig Dawson is on stand-by if the Swede breaks down again.
Midfielders Zoltan Gera and James Morrison (both knee) and right-back Steven Reid (foot) remain on the injury list.
