SIMON Cox is a doubt for Albion's final game of the season against Barnsley on Sunday (ko 1pm).

The Baggies striker has picked up a hamstring problem and has not trained since Monday's 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.

Jerome Thomas returned to full training for the first time today after missing the last five weeks with a recurrence of his back problem from last season.

And Roberto Di Matteo insists the winger will be assessed tomorrow before deciding if he is able to play a part against the Tykes.

"Simon Cox has a little hamstring problem," said the Baggies boss.

"He hasn't been training over the last few days.

"We'll have to see how he's going to be tomorrow.

"Everyone else has some scratches and kicks but are okay.

"Jerome trained today for the first time.

"It went well but he's been out for a while and we'll have to see how he is tomorrow."
