Brunt back for Baggies clash

Last updated : 28 November 2006 By Andy Parsons

The Algerian defender limped off against Cardiff at the weekend and he is currently struggling with a thigh strain.

But it is hoped he will recover in time to maintain his 100 per cent appearance rate this season - although Graham Coughlan is waiting in the wings.

Brunt meanwhile missed the Bluebirds game through suspension but his one-match ban will be over for tonight's clash.

Laws has also confirmed that Deon Burton will be available after being taken off at the weekend.
