Styles, McNair, Diangana - West Brom team news ahead of Bristol City
Versatile Callum Styles has been ruled out of this weekend's clash with Bristol City but there is good news about Grady Diangana and Paddy McNair.
Styles will not play on Sunday owing to a problem he suffered in the last game with Watford.
Carlos Corberan revealed: "We have a couple of players, who I will keep with me, in doubt. The previous week was very demanding and next week is going to be a very demanding period.
"One player that is not going to be available is Styles. He was feeling something in the previous game during the first half. We changed because I wanted to change but at the same time he couldn't keep playing. So the change was a tactical question with physical damage too. He has not been involved with the group. Normally he will need one more week to be available."

On McNair and Diangana, he added: "Paddy has been training with the group, making a good part of training.
"Of course when you are injured long-term, the fact you made training doesn't mean you are ready to compete, but him training with the group is a positive thing.
"Grady has been training this week. It has been two physical days and two football days. His reaction has been positive. If he keeps like this hopefully - I touch wood - he can be ready and available for Sunday.
"We know Grady, last season he was one of the most important players in the last third of the pitch when we talk about goals and assists, his level of goal involvement was very high.
"This year he started with an injury in pre-season. He had a couple of shoulder problems after. He came back with the calf problem three weeks ago - he couldn't get the consistency and rhythm he needs to help and show his level on the pitch.
"When you create a squad - Grady was one of our key players last year. We are always looking forward to seeing him back with his rhythm and normal behaviour."
Good news is also on the horizon regarding long suffering striker Daryl Dike. A heartwarming video of him dancing in Albion merchandise emerged this week and Corberan was asked if this meant a return was near.
While it is not quite there yet, he did reveal he is back with coaches: "One thing is dancing, another thing is football! But I like to see him happy. Wednesday was the first time that he has been with our coaches for some technical work with us. A positive thing. Let's see how he is growing without any type of expectation right now.
"Of course it is a moment that everyone is looking forward to, he has been looking forward to it, the staff, the players, but at the same time we need to be patient. Still we are not close."
