Carlos Corberan unhappy with EFL scheduling after West Brom's win at Hull

Concerned boss Carlos Corberan revealed a fear for his Albion squad's health after tight scheduling caused a "risk" for players.

The Baggies earned an important 2-1 victory at Hull to end an eight-match winless run on Sunday lunchtime but Corberan was unhappy the Championship clash came just 66 hours after Thursday's draw against Burnley.

Albion are patched-up as it is, specifically in defence where any depth has been wrecked by injuries to Kyle Bartley, Semi Ajayi, Paddy McNair and Gianluca Frabotta. He added that three of his remaining defenders Callum Styles, Torbjorn Heggem and Mason Holgate played on at breaking point.

Corberan reasoned that gaps between matches should be at least 72 hours. Albion's clashes against the Clarets and Tigers were both broadcasted on Sky Sports' new Plus service, which has provided more televised fixtures and broadcast revenue.

Corberan opened his post-match press conference by saying: "First of all we arrived to this game in a very difficult physical challenge because we had to play 66 hours after we played on Thursday night.
