Latest Oxford United Team and Injury News for Trip to West Brom

Oxford United Injury News

Matt Phillips – Thigh

Former West Brom winger Matt Phillips won’t be available to face his former club, with the veteran still sidelined following a thigh injury he picked up back in September.

Brodie Spencer – Foot

Gary Rowett is yet to give a timescale on the foot injury picked up by Brodie Spencer during the win at Sheffield Wednesday but he will certainly miss the trip to the Hawthorns.

Jack Currie – Knock

The other full back is also sidelined after picking up a knock against Millwall. The left-back missed the game against Stoke.

Oxford United Returning Players

Ole Romeny – Oxford’s Indonesian attacker has been available since turning out during the last international break but hasn’t made any of the recent Oxford squads. However, he did come on against the Potters in the second half.

West Brom Injury News

Toby Collyer – Hamstring

The Manchester United loanee has been sidelined since picking up a hamstring injury. It’s been a blow with the 21-year-old finally starting to establish himself in Ryan Mason’s lineup.

Jayson Molumby – Muscle

Jayson Molumby had a decent international break with the Republic of Ireland but picked up an injury during the latter stages of the camp. He then aggravated the injury when he returned as a substitute against Preston.

Jed Wallace – Calf

Club captain Jed Wallace suffered a calf injury during a defeat against his former club, Millwall, at the start of October. He’s the closest of the three to a return but should still be looking for minutes after the upcoming international break.
