Bilic has defensive headaches as West Brom host Huddersfield
Posted Friday, September 20, 2019 by PA
West Bromwich Albion boss Slaven Bilic has defensive concerns ahead of his side’s clash with Huddersfield at The Hawthorns.
Conor Townsend is ruled out after failing to recover from a back injury while Kieran Gibbs has suffered a setback with an ankle problem.
Better news for Bilic is the return to full training of Egypt defender Ahmed Hegazi, although he will not be involved this weekend.
The Baggies go into the game as the only unbeaten team in the Championship, albeit desperate to turn their draws into wins.
Alex Pritchard and Collin Quaner are struggling to be fit for Huddersfield after missing last week’s defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.
Otherwise, Terriers boss Danny Cowley will be hoping to pick from a fully-fit squad as he looks to get his reign up and running with a win.
Juninho Bacuna and Isaac Mbenza both featured off the bench last Sunday and are pushing for starting places.
Cowley is currently running the rule over former Leicester free agent Danny Simpson, but he will not be signed in time for the game.
