The Baggies, who are fourth in the Championship, head to Elland Road looking to reel in a Leeds side who sit one place and four points above them in the table.

After a gruelling spell of fixtures, Hal Robson Kanu, Jacob Murphy and Ahmed Hegazi have all been injury doubts.

But head coach Darren Moore revealed all the players are back in training and in contention for tomorrow's game.

"Hegazi trained yesterday and we hope to have him back," Moore said.

"Hal is back in training as well, we’re pleased to have Hal available for selection

"Jacob Murphy is back in training. But we'll assess everyone today before the final training session."

Following the 1-0 loss to Sheffield United on Saturday, Hegazi left The Hawthorns wearing a protective boot.

And Moore admitted it was a relief to see the defender return to training this week.

"We’re pleased to have Hegazi back in training," the head coach continued.

"He trained yesterday and did some work. Looking at all the signs yesterday, he looked fine and well.

"We’ll train today to see if he’s had any reactions at all.

"Yesterday it was wonderful to see him back out there. And good to see Hal back out there. It’s nice to add them back into the squad.

"Jacob Murphy had a run out yesterday as well. We’ll assess all three players because obviously, they’ve all come back.

"You want them to have a training session to see if they have any reactions.

"Yesterday all seemed well. We’ll train again and we’ll see if there’s a response from the players."
