Albion's Michael Svoboda back on pitch after knee problem | OneFootball

Albion hope to have defender Michael Svoboda available soon after a knee issue kept him out of recent games, according to TheArgus.co.uk.

He was left off a 12-man bench for the home second leg against Tromso, then was also absent at Chelsea.

The head coach said the knee had only a minor reaction, that Svoboda is back on the pitch, and that they will see when he can get involved.

Centre-back is not a problem area for Albion. Diego Coppola and Olivier Boscagli stepped up as back-up options and helped deliver an impressive FA Cup win at Old Trafford last season.

A demanding spell now brings Coventry City away next Sunday, Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, then Arsenal at home. Svoboda’s availability would be welcome.

Hurzeler could also face a two-from-three call in central defence at home to Leeds, which may hinge partly on midfield availability.
