The Story in 60 Seconds

West Bromwich Albion manager James Morrison has warned that his team will be in serious trouble if they suffer multiple injuries this season. With a registered 23-man Championship squad that has already seen players like Alex Williams leave on loan, Morrison emphasized the need to rotate players and balance minutes across a demanding campaign to prevent squad burnout.

The Baggies currently have Mikey Johnston and Nolan Galves sidelined with long-term injuries, while Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Callum Styles have been dealing with minor knocks. Following a recent defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Brom will return from the international break on October 10 to face Birmingham City ahead of fixtures against Wrexham and Blackburn Rovers.
