Baggies v Blades - team news

Posted on: Fri 29 Jan 2010

Ahead of the game at The Hawthorns against high-flying West Bromwich Albion, Kevin Blackwell has few injury concerns:

"Andy Taylor is out because of the groin strain he sustained on Tuesday night. But the scans revealed less damage than we thought - a slight tear in his adductor - because of the pain he was in, and he should only be out for a couple of weeks.

"Athough Jordan Stewart would consider himself more of a left side midfielder than a left-back, he came in there at half-time and did a terrific job.

"That was to his credit because we saw what Jobi McAnuff did to Liverpool, but it was typical of how the lads have responded this season when asked to do a different job."

Midfielder Lee Williamson was a surprise inclusion on the bench on Tuesday night when apparently sidelined with a recurrence of a hamstring strain:

"He hasn't trained since and it would be better not to come back and play a game for five or six days or so when fully fit, so I would hope that would be in time for Watford next Tuesday."

Henri Camara and Darius Henderson have both benefited from long stints against Bolton last Saturday and are approaching full fitness, and Jamie Ward is also picking up momentum towards his optimum level.

For the home side, Graham Dorrans and Roman Bednar, who scored both Albion's goals at Bramall Lane earlier in the season, are doubts. Scotsman Dorrans has a hip problem, whilst Czech striker Bednar has a bruised foot.

Jonas Olsson and Chris Brunt are expected to play despite picking up head injuries recently whilst James Morrison is back in training after a heel problem.
