Mowbray waits on three

West Brom manager Tony Mowbray will check on the fitness of a trio of players before finalising his plans for the derby with Aston Villa in the Barclays Premier League.

West Brom manager Tony Mowbray will check on the fitness of a trio of players before finalising his plans for the derby with Aston Villa in the Barclays Premier League.

James Morrison (groin), Gianni Zuiverloon (knee) and Felipe Teixeira (calf) all missed the 1-1 draw with Peterborough in the FA Cup last weekend.

They all returned to training on Thursday but Mowbray will see if there is any reaction ahead of the trip to Villa Park. Abdoulaye Meite remains a doubt with a hamstring problem.

The Baggies boss also insisted on loan Alkmaar defender Ryan Donk remained part of his plans despite reports that he was heading back to Holland.

Provisional squad: Carson, Kiely, Zuiverloon, Hoefkens, Olsson, Barnett, Donk, Meite, Robinson, Cech, Morrison, Greening, Koren, Valero, Brunt, Teixeira, Do-Heon, Dorrans, Moore, Bednar, Beattie, MacDonald, Pele.
