Paul Robinson is expected to be available for selection against Southampton despite being forced off during the win at Norwich last Saturday.The 29-year-old was forced off with blurred vision in the 69th minute at Carrow Road and has also been playing the last few weeks with a bruised ankle as well as requiring stitches in a head wound in two of Albion's last three matches.

But despite the knocks, the left-back could take his place in the Baggies back four as they go in search of the three points which will guarantee them promotion to the Premier League.

Robinson told the club's official website: "My ankle is still sore and I'm playing on with that. But the bruising has gone down now.

"I take pain-killers before the game and when I'm running I've got a strapping on so it's not too bad, especially when the adrenalin is running through you."

Albion manager Tony Mowbray, meanwhile, has no new injury or suspension worries to contend with.
