Carl Hoefkens could return for West Brom's Good Friday trip to promotion rivals Charlton - but Leon Barnett has been ruled out.Belgium international Hoefkens has missed the last three matches with a hamstring injury but has resumed training and could be in contention at The Valley (kick-off 4.45pm).

However, centre-back Barnett has been ruled out with the hamstring problem he sustained following the home defeat to Leicester.

Albion's injury problems have worsened with the news that Sherjill MacDonald will have a knee operation this week and will be sidelined for around a fortnight.

Chris Brunt (hamstring) and James Morrison (ankle) are edging closer to fitness but this game will come too soon for the midfielders.

On-loan striker Luke Moore begins a three-match suspension following his red card against Leicester.
