West Brom and Walsall stars feature in Carabao Cup team of the round
West Brom, Wolves and Walsall all progressed in the Carabao Cup last week.
West Brom youngster Harry Whitwell has been named in the Carabao Cup team of the round - along with heroic Saddlers shot-stopper Jed Ward.
Whitwell, 20, set-up the opener for JJ Morgan before getting on the scoresheet himself, with his first goal for the club, in a comfortable 4-1 rout over Rotherham United in the Baggies’ first round tie on Saturday.
However, Whitwell was taken off at half-time as a precaution after picking up a knock and is now being assessed.
The Albion academy graduate emerged with an 8.67 WhoScored rating - while Ward finished round one with an unrivalled score of 9.82.
Ward made a staggering 10 saves on his competitive debut to help guide the Saddlers to a memorable 1-0 success at Championship side Bristol City last Thursday.
