Baggies boss sweating over duo

Fri 07 Mar, 01:30 PM


West Brom boss Tony Mowbray could be without Roman Bednar and Carl Hoefkens in Sunday's FA Cup sixth-round tie at Bristol Rovers.Bednar was forced out of Tuesday's late 1-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday with a calf injury while Hoefkens struggled through until the end of the match after taking a knock to his leg.

Both players are facing a race to be fit against the Pirates but Mowbray is hopeful the duo will be fit enough to feature.

However, Portuguese midfielder Filipe Teixeira has been ruled out for the rest of the season, with initial scans suggesting he has suffered cruciate ligament damage in his left knee.

Fellow midfielder James Morrison (tendinitis) and striker Kevin Phillips (knee) came off the bench against Wednesday and are fully fit once again.
