'Hopefully' - Ryan Mason gives update on West Brom's Tammer Bany injury
Albion are hopeful attacker Tammer Bany will make a swift recovery from a minor muscle injury.
Attacking midfielder Bany, 21, limped out of the closing stages of the friendly against Dynamo Kyiv in Austria two Fridays ago.
The Dane felt tightness in his hamstring against the Ukrainians and as a result is not training fully with his colleagues at the training ground.
He did not travel with Albion to Blackpool on Saturday for the 2-1 friendly defeat, where boss Ryan Mason confirmed the muscle setback is only a minor one - and that Bany could even make an appearance in the next friendly at Lincoln City next weekend.
"It was just a little tightness," head coach Mason confirmed. "He's working and hopefully he'll be OK for next weekend."
Bany, the £3.3million January signing from Randers in his homeland, spoke to the Express & Star earlier in the pre-season camp in Austria about how he is determined to make his mark in his debut campaign at the club.
He was limited to just four outings, all from the bench, after his arrival - but acknowledged the period from his January signing was a useful time to settle and adjust.
Other fitness absentees from the Bloomfield Road defeat were Kyle Bartley, Jed Wallace and Josh Maja. Jayson Molumby continues to serve his suspension.
