Ben Foster: West Brom keeper out until December with knee injury
Albion boss Tony Pulis has praised the club’s supporters for their treatment of striker Saido Berahino following his recent transfer deadline day controversy.
Boaz Myhill is likely to return in goal for West Brom against Everton after Anders Lindegaard was given his debut in Wednesday’s Capital One Cup 3-0 defeat at Norwich.
Berahino finished with the same goal tally as Premier League Player of the Season Eden Hazard and despite his divisive behaviour in the summer, Pulis will be delighted to have kept such a reliable goalscorer.
West Brom have failed to win against the Toffees in their last five Premier League encounters (D3 L2).
After six rounds of games, the Baggies now sit 12th in the Premier League table, level on points with Liverpool and Norwich City. However, Everton did finish the match a player short after Kevin Mirallas was sent off late on.
Everton defender John Stones is a doubt for Monday’s trip to West Brom.
West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster has been ruled out until Christmas after suffering a setback in his return from a knee injury.
Sports Mole previews the Premier League clash between West Bromwich Albion and Everton at The Hawthorns.
“I think, having spoken to Ben, the most important thing is for him to get fit and start playing for West Brom again and if the Euros come for him then brilliant”, Pulis said. They should have won by more.
The move to White Hart Lane never materialised and Pulis insists that the 22-year-old has been forgiven by the fans and staff, despite describing him as a “naughty child”. He’s a young kid.
“I just wanted to see him in a proper game and he did very well at times last night”. He’s a handful but he’s inconsistent.
