Winger a doubt to face Swansea after picking up knee injury
West Bromwich Albion winger Chris Brunt is an injury concern ahead of Saturday's Premier League game away to promoted Swansea City.
Brunt picked up a knee injury in training on Monday after featuring as a late substitute in the previous day's 1-0 victory over Norwich City.
The Northern Ireland international is rated 50/50 to make the trip to the Liberty Stadium at the weekend and first-team coach Michael Appleton does not expect the injury to prove to be serious.
"Apart from a few bumps and bruises that most people got on Sunday I think the only one that is 50/50 is Chris Brunt," Appleton told the club's
official website.
"He picked up a knock on his knee in training on Monday. It is nothing serious, it is more precautionary.
"He seemed to be in a reasonable frame of mind yesterday morning so I don't think it is too serious."
Gera progress
Meanwhile, Zoltan Gera continues to make progress from a summer ankle operation as the Hungarian midfielder waits to make his second debut for West Brom.
Appleton added: "Zoltan is not doing too bad at all. He's trained for eight or nine days with the players.
"Touch wood, we're getting into a situation where he may be able to have a little bit of football, whether that be with the reserves or whether or not the Carling Cup is a bit too soon, we'll see. He seems to be coming on okay."
