Injured trio return for Villa derby

Albion were today given a boost ahead of Sunday's derby clash with Aston Villa with Gianni Zuiverloon, Abdoulaye Meite and Ishmael Miller all returning to training. The injured trio missed the victory over West Ham last Saturday but should be in contention if no adverse training effects occur.

The trio had been ever-present for the Baggies so far however Tony Mowbray has warned he may not make any changes from last week's victorious XI.

"They all trained today and we'll see if there's any reaction tomorrow," the Albion boss said.

"If they train tomorrow they'll be in contention for Sunday.

"That said, the team won at the weekend and there are no guarantees that anyone comes straight back in otherwise you give yourself problems.

"I've got no problem changing a winning team but you need to break it down individually and you make sure you've got a reason for making changes.

"You don't make changes for the sake of it.

"We'll wait and see."
