The Welsh international midfielder, who has not made a start for the Baggies since breaking a toe in the game with Bolton, successfully came through the reserves game with Bradford on Tuesday and is now ready to stake his claim for a place in Gary Megsons starting eleven after a second half appearance in last weeks game at Middlesbrough.

"It's frustrating being out and people like Michael Appleton and Darren Moore must be tearing their hair out," said Johnson.

"When I was warming up on Saturday I got a good reception and, although you want the lads to do well in your absence, you like to be missed as well."
