West Bromwich Albion will be assessing the fitness of key midfielder Alex Mowatt ahead of their crucial trip to face Sheffield Wednesday this weekend.

Mowatt missed Albion’s last outing against Barnsley due to a groin injury, and manager Steve Bruce is keen to ensure the midfielder is fully fit before making a decision on his involvement in the upcoming match.

Speaking about Mowatt’s fitness, Bruce said, “We’ll see how he is. We’re hopeful that he’s going to be OK.”

Mowatt has been a key player for West Brom this season, contributing significantly to their promotion push. His absence was felt in the last game, and the club will be eager to have him back for the important fixture against Sheffield Wednesday.

West Brom currently sits in fourth place in the Championship table, just one point behind third-placed Sheffield United. A win against Sheffield Wednesday would keep their automatic promotion hopes alive as they look to secure a return to the Premier League.
