Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion face a selection dilemma ahead of Saturday's match against Queens Park Rangers following an injury to defender Nolan Galves. Galves, who joined the club this summer from Rodez, sustained the injury during the second half of Albion's 1-0 win at Derby. The 23-year-old was substituted after 52 minutes following a challenge with Mo Fuseini at Pride Park. His availability remains uncertain as he prepares to see a specialist to determine the extent of the damage. James Morrison is now without a specialist right-back for the upcoming fixture, as Brayann Pereira is suspended following a red card in the same match and Alex Williams is currently on loan at Hibernian. The club has not provided a specific recovery timeline for Galves.
