Albion have been given a triple injury boost with the news that Kim Do-Heon is ahead of schedule from his recovery from medial knee ligament damage; with Filipe Teixeria and Abdoulaye Meite also set to return to training.


Koren star Kim was initially set for a spell of up to six to eight weeks on the sidelines after his injury in the first minute at The Riverside a month ago but has responded well to treatment.


Both Teixeria and Meite have been on the treatment table nursing calf injuries with the two set to start training again on Monday.

"Filipe is not back training with the team yet but will hopefully train on Monday," the Albion gaffer said.

"I hope he will see first-team action within the next two weeks.

"Kim should be ready in a week or two, which will create more competition in midfield.

"Both Filipe and Kim are good players.

"They bring slightly different things to the team and will give us more options.

"The more good players we've got the better chance we'll have of winning matches."

The Baggies face no fresh injury worries on the eve of the Hull clash with former Bolton man Meite set for a welcome return back on the training field.

"Everyone trained yesterday and they are all okay," Mowbray continued.

"Hopefully, Abou will train with the physios on Monday - with his boots on and kicking the ball about - before coming back in with the team."
