Carlos Corberan could call on West Brom young guns
Carlos Corberan looks set to place his faith in youth to spearhead Albion’s frontline in tonight’s FA Cup replay.
The Baggies welcome National League Chesterfield to The Hawthorns for a third-round replay just as a striking availability crisis has struck.
Corberan is unable to call on the suspended Brandon Thomas-Asante, rested Daryl Dike and injured duo Karlan Grant and Kenneth Zohore.
Instead the head coach will call on under-21s forward duo Jovan Malcolm and Reyes Cleary – the former who travelled as an extra to Luton but is yet to make his senior Albion debut.
Corberan, who will field a rotated squad against the Spireites once more with a huge Championship clash at Burnley on Friday, said: “Unfortunately we’ve lost the four strikers that we can have. It’s clear that I need to find a solution for this position.
