Trio out of Villa clash

Chris Brunt, Jerome Thomas and Steven Reid are injured for West Brom's Midlands derby with Aston Villa at The Hawthorns on Saturday. Captain Brunt has been ruled out of the Barclays Premier League clash with a hamstring injury he suffered in training on Friday. Winger Thomas also has a hamstring problem and defender Reid a calf injury, both picked up in the 2-2 draw at Tottenham, but boss Roy Hodgson insisted none of the three are long-term concerns.
