Albion have been boosted by the probable return of injured goal ace Bobby Zamora for the relegation run-in.

A second scan has revealed the slight hamstring tear Zamora suffered in last week's defeat at Sheffield United is healing well.

Boss Steve Coppell said today: "We've had a very positive scan on Bobby. He is making good progress.

"The bruising is subsiding, so we are very encouraged by that. I know from experience you don't put any dates on these things but the scan was certainly very encouraging."

Albion remain hopeful that Zamora, ruled out of the last two matches, will be fit to return for their next match at Reading on April 4.
