West Brom: A new development on the amazing ace scenario…
Carlos Corberan has provided an injury update on Cédric Kipré ahead of West Bromwich Albion’s clash with Stoke City.
The Ivorian missed Monday’s 2-2 draw at home to Watford due to a shoulder injury sustained against Millwall.
The centre-back has been an important part of the Baggies’ squad this season, having previously been frozen out of the first team.
Kipré spent last year on loan with Cardiff City before returning to become an important part of the side at the Hawthorns under Corberan, making 38 league appearances for the Midlands outfit so far this season (all stats from Fbref).
But he was absent for the draw at home to Watford after coming off with a shoulder issue in their 1-1 draw against Millwall the previous Friday.
Corberan provides Kipré injury update
Corberan is optimistic that Kipré will be available for selection for this weekend’s clash against relegation-threatened Stoke.
The Spaniard revealed that he was still too sore to compete on Monday, but that they hope he can train with the team this week ahead of the game with the Potters.
“On Sunday he tried to train with the medical department and he couldn’t,” said Corberan, via Birmingham Live.
“Still there is soreness.
“We expect that, with the passing of the next 48 hours, I think he needs to be ready to train with the team.
