Injury update: West Brom Striker and two other players cleared to make injury return against Swansea

Carlos Corberan has next to know selection or injury problems ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Swansea.

Daryl Dike remains the long term absentee, while the imminent new signing Mikey Johnston could be a doubt with an eye injury.

Here is a quick glance at who’s in and who’s out:

Gary Diangana

The winger came on for a brief cameo at Stoke on his return from injury.

He went off with a shoulder injury, and judging by Corberan’s reaction in his post match press conference, it did not look good.

But it seems he has come out better than expected.

If he gets through training today then he will be in the squad tomorrow.

Daryl Dike

The striker has not played since February, where he ruptured his Achilles at Ipswich – the opposite leg to the previous occasion.

But Corberan confirmed Dike is in good spirits and making good progress, in some ways thanks to already coming through the rehab last time around.

This week the United States international joined in work with Albion’s physical staff having previously worked with the medical team. He will do this for about a month before the head coach said he can “integrate” with his colleagues come October, though the likelihood is it will be some time after that until he is ready for competitive action.

Good News: He’s back, West Brom seals £3M deal to bring him back

Magic Mikey Johnston to seal his West Brom return for good today

Albion are set to complete the deadline day statement £3million permanent signing of former loan favourite Mikey Johnston from Celtic.

Johnston, 25, lit up The Hawthorns in the second half of last season on loan from Celtic Park and Carlos Corberan has been backed to land one of his primary summer targets, beating Burnley and Sheffield United to the signature.

The winger is the 10th and set to be final final new recruit at The Hawthorns this summer. If he is registered prior to today’s midday cut-off he would be in contention to feature home to Swansea City tomorrow.

His £3m capture is also, by a considerable distance, the club’s biggest outlay of the summer and Johnston is set to confirm a four-year deal putting him among the club’s biggest earners.

The Republic of Ireland international wideman scored seven times in 20 games for Corberan’s men last season and was a key factor in reaching the play-offs.

Academy graduate striker Mo Faal, meanwhile, is poised to leave the club on a permanent deal. The 21-year-old, who had a spell on loan with Walsall last season, is set to join ambitious League One new-boys Wrexham.

Highly-regarded Albion defender Caleb Taylor, also 21, is set for a loan to League One before the 11pm deadline tonight.
