Griffiths, who lost his place as Albion No.1 last month, returned for the FA Cup fourth round tie at Carrow Road where Eric Ramsay's visitors succumbed to a 3-1 defeat.

The goalkeeper was withdrawn at half-time, however, due to an injury Ramsay described as a 'foot or toe' issue. Griffiths picked up the injury in an early collision while rushing out of goal to meet Mathias Kvistgaarden in a move that ultimately proved offside.

Griffiths played on until half-time but was replaced by current Championship first-choice Max O'Leary. The former was spotted wearing a protective boot at full-time after the visitors' Cup exit.

"I'm not sure of the extent of it but obviously not a great sign," Ramsay said.

"We will reassess on Monday and if we need to pivot in that department then I'm sure we will.

"It's a foot injury, sort of toe or foot type of thing, I'm not actually completely sure of the mechanism but certainly giving him enough pain to change it at half-time."
