Reid out for a month

West Brom midfielder Steven Reid has been ruled out for a month after knee surgery.

The 30-year-old required the operation to “repair wear and tear” but it was not related to the ankle injury he suffered in the 3-2 win at Newcastle on Wednesday.

A club statement confirmed: “He will be sidelined for around one month.”

“He was forced off at Newcastle after twisting his left ankle and it is hoped that this injury will also heal during rehab from his left-knee operation.”

Reid has also played at right-back for the Baggies this season.

Meanwhile, West Brom boss Roy Hodgson will assess the fitness of James Morrison and Youssouf Mulumbu ahead of the Boxing Day clash with Manchester City at The Hawthorns.
