Injury guru Ben Dinnery with his weekly team news update
For Swansea, Garry Monk is hoping to turn the Liberty Stadium into a fortress as The Jacks prepare to take on The Baggies in the Premier League this weekend. Argentine defender Federico Fernandez could make his domestic debut on Saturday following his appearance on Tuesday night against Rotherham with Jordi Amat the man likely to make way. Knee injuries keep Marvin Emnes (cartilage) and Leon Britton (stress fracture) side lined with Rory Donnelly expected to return in November following ankle surgery.
WBA boss Alan Irvine will be without defender Sebastien Pocognoli after the full-back was replaced last weekend because of a thigh complaint but fellow injury victim Victor Anichebe is expected to return following a groin issue. Graham Dorrans and Craig Gardner were rested midweek due to a slight niggle but will return to the match day squad; summer signing Joleon Lescott just misses out as he continues his recovery from a knee injury. Christian Gamboa and Brown Ideye both featured during the penalty win over Oxford United and will be in contention but Georgios Samaras and Silvestre Varela are both out as they look to improve their match-fitness.
