Carlos Corberan issues Jed Wallace and Jayson Molumby update ahead of West Brom trip to Swansea | OneFootball

West Bromwich Albion head coach Carlos Corberan has confirmed that Jed Wallace and Jayson Molumby have both missed training this week.

Wallace has recently been playing with pain in his knee while Molumby has been nursing a groin injury that he suffered while representing the Republic of Ireland on international duty.

Instead of taking a risk on these two players in training, Corberan has given them time to rest in the hope that they will both be fit enough to feature against Swansea City on Monday.

West Brom could potentially secure a place in the play-offs on the final day of the season if they beat the Swans and results elsewhere go their way.

In order to finish above Millwall, who are sixth in the Championship standings, Albion will need to secure maximum points in their meeting with Swansea and hope that the Lions suffer a defeat, or are held to a draw by Blackburn Rovers.

West Brom will also need Sunderland to slip up in their meeting with Preston North End in order to clinch a top-six finish.

While Albion could still theoretically finish above Coventry City, they will need to win their game and hope that the Sky Blues suffer a heavy defeat to Middlesbrough as they have an inferior goal difference (+7 compared to Coventry's +12).

"Players like Molumby are playing with the team after reducing the time of his injury (absence). "He was playing with a small injury in games, and without training. "This week, in some point, you suffer the consequences of the excess of the demanding by some players who have been helping the team. "At the same time, the fact we have nine days allow us to manage the players and give them exactly what they need.

"It's Thursday and the last game was Saturday, so imagine how many days they've needed to recover to make sure they arrive in good condition."
