Blackpool vs West Brom injury news - as 10 players ruled out and 3 doubts

West Bromwich Albion will be hopeful of building an impressive away-from-home winning streak following their win over Stoke City when they face Blackpool on Tuesday night. The Baggies have plenty of injury doubts but are looking to mount one final playoff push as the season ebbs into its final five matches.

And Carlos Corberan must’ve been incredibly pleased with the response that his side showed to going a goal down. Jayson Molumby was the man that almost singlehandedly dragged them into the lead with his two goals in 10 second-half minutes to give them three points.

With those goals, Albion picked up their first away victory since mid-January, impressing their supporters with a hard-fought victory at the Bet 365 Stadium. And it’s a performance they’ll be hoping to replicate when they face relegation strugglers Blackpool on Tuesday night.

The Seasiders haven’t enjoyed a good run of form under new interim manager Stephen Dobbie but did manage a crucial victory against bottom-of-the-table side Wigan Athletic last time out. Striker Jerry Yates scored the only goal of the game just two minutes from the start and they managed to hold out for a pivotal three points.

Here’s the latest injury news ahead of Albion’s clash with the Seasiders.

West Brom have struggled to get their full squad together since the turn of the new year, and still have plenty of doubts as we head into the final five games of the campaign. One of those is Okay Yokuslu, who has been missing since the draw against Millwall and is being assessed on a ‘day-to-day’ basis, but he may feature at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday.

Centre-back Dara O’Shea picked up an injury on international duty with the Republic of Ireland and has been confirmed out until the end of the campaign. Fellow Irishman Jayson Molumby suffered a groin problem whilst away with their nation and returned to the starting line-up on Saturday afternoon to score both goals - providing he doesn’t suffer any setbacks, he should start again.

American striker Daryl Dike picked up an Achilles tendon injury against Stoke, which forced him off just before the half-time whistle, Corberan expects the knock to keep him out for several months. "I have been watching these types of injuries that unfortunately happen and we need to see how much damage appears and depending on this, we will know the months,” the boss said.

There have been no updates on Matt Phillips or Grady Diangana who have been ruled out until the end of the campaign with long-term injuries. The same is said for defensive duo Martin Kelly and Kean Bryan who are both out for the season with ACL problems.

Fellow defender Kyle Bartley will miss the Blackpool game with a hamstring issue that he felt during the defeat to Rotherham United. Midfielder Adam Reach is another who has been added to the list of season-ending issues, after suffering a problem with a tendon in his quadricep, keeping him out until the end of the campaign.

Meanwhile, for Blackpool, they’ve had injury problems of their own towards the end of the campaign. Marvin Ekpiteta has been out with a hamstring injury since the beginning of January and he’s side-lined along with fellow defender Charlie Goode, who has a similar ailment.

Striker Shayne Lavery is a doubt, after suffering a hamstring injury which is set to keep him out until the end of this month. Midfielder Kevin Stewart won’t make a return from his metatarsal injury that required surgery in October. The former Liverpool and Hull City man hasn’t played at all this season.

Ruled out - Ekpiteta, Goode, Stewart (BPL); O’Shea, Phillips, Diangana, Kelly, Bryan, Bartley Reach (WBA).

Doubts - Lavery (BPL); Molumby, Yokuslu (WBA).
