Tony Mowbray delivered a mixed availability update as Albion prepare for the Championship run-in, including a trip to Norwich on Saturday.
The free-scoring Canaries are 13th after struggling to keep goals out at the other end, eight points behind their sixth-placed visitors.
Mowbray and Albion have been encouraged by the return of one vital defender ahead of the trip to Carrow Road, while another pair of essential squad members have accelerated their recovery.
There was less hopeful news for leading goalscorer Josh Maja, who has been absent since early January.
Check out the most recent Albion availability below.
Callum Styles- calf
It was unfortunate that the in-form left-back was ruled out of Hungary duty after receiving a well-deserved recall due to a calf injury sustained at Burnley prior to the break. Styles missed the 1-1 draw against Hull due to the injury, but he returned to training this week and is expected to play against Norwich.
Jed Wallace- calf
Club captain Wallace and defender Semi Ajayi have both made significant progress in their recovery from muscle injuries and are expected to resume full training within the next two weeks.
Mowbray confirmed that the duo is practicing light running routines with medical professionals. Wallace has not played since mid-February’s draw against Millwall.
Semi Ajayi- hamstring
Centre-back Ajayi only managed to play against Millwall and Oxford before another hamstring injury halted his development. Fortunately, like Wallace, he has increased his rehabilitation efforts.
Josh Maja – Lower Leg
Albion’s main availability issue in the second half of the season has definitely been top scorer Maja, who has been unable to add to his 12-goal tally after not kicking a ball since early January.
Optimistic timetables for the striker’s comeback were first established at six to eight weeks, which corresponded to late March.
However, Mowbray indicated this week that Maja will most likely only be ready to return if Albion make the play-offs. Maja has been working with a protective leg brace for the past several months.
Tammer Bany- groin
The £3 million attacking midfield acquisition was ruled out of games against Burnley and Hull owing to a slight groin injury, but has returned to full training as of Thursday this week. He accumulated technical and physical work during the first week of the holiday, but has since joined in with colleagues and appears to be in good shape.
Darnell Furlong – suspended.
The Baggies‘ first-choice right-back will serve the final match of his three-match suspension at Carrow Road after being sent off against QPR, which Albion unsuccessfully appealed.
With almost all of Mowbray’s backline available, Mason Holgate is likely to play right-back again, with Styles available on the left and Kyle Bartley and Torbjorn Heggem in the centre.
