And boss explains extent of Popov injury
STEVE Clarke is sweating on the fitness of James Morrison after he limped off with a groin problem in Saturday’s 3-0 win at Southampton.The Scotland midfielder came off in the 78th minute and was replaced by Billy Jones.
The Baggies boss also revealed Goran Popov could be out for up to a fortnight after picking up a calf injury the day before the St Mary’s Stadium clash.
Chris Brunt, who missed the Saints encounter due to a knee problem, remains a doubt for Saturday’s home game with Wigan (ko 3pm).
While Marc-Antoine Fortune will serve the first game of his three-match ban for his red card on the south coast against the Latics.
But Clarke will be able to call on Youssouf Mulumbu again after he completed his three-match suspension.
