West Brom striker, Brown Ideye, remains an injury doubt for the team’s Barclays Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

The £10m Nigeria international just recovered from a niggling injury which made him withdraw from the Super Eagles’ recent friendly matches against Uganda and South Africa.

The former Dynamo Kiev forward suffered the latest setback in training and he is now a major doubt for the game. which sees Tony Pulis return to his former club.

Tony Pulis returns to his former employers but most likely without the Albion’s record signing.

“Browny has got a little bit of a knock so we’re not sure if he will be fit to start or not. We’re hoping that he will be okay,” Pulis said.

Pulis, who left Palace by mutual consent less than 48 hours before the start of the season, is looking for a response from his team after back-to-back defeats to QPR and Leicester affected their survival bid.

West Brom are seven points clear of the bottom three, but they face a daunting run-in the business end of the season with matches against Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal to come in four of their last five games after this weekend clash.
