Former West Brom boss Darren Moore sidelined with Covid pneumonia
Sheffield Wednesday boss Darren Moore is facing further time away from the dugout after contracting pneumonia.
Albion hero Moore confirmed in a statement last night he was suffering with the infection, having only returned this week from a period of isolation with Covid-19.
The 46-year-old, who both played for and managed the Baggies, will now spend time away from Hillsborough as he looks to recover his health.
He said: “I have developed pneumonia as a result of COVID-19, with blood clots on the lungs and extreme discomfort.
“I am gutted to be away but I understand the situation and the course of action I must take.”
Moore made more than 100 appearances for Albion and was part of two promotion-winning teams.
After an extended spell coaching in the club's academy, he stepped up to manage the Baggies for a 12-month period in 2018 and 2019.
He joined Championship strugglers Wednesday from League One Doncaster at the start of last month.
