Baggies dealt Watson recall blow
West Brom have received a blow to their promotion charge after Wigan exercised their right to recall on-loan midfielder Ben Watson.[LNB] The 24-year-old has spent the past five-and-a-half weeks at The Hawthorns, making seven appearances and scoring the opener in last month's 3-2 win over Preston.[LNB]Watson was due to remain at the club until the end of the season but injury and suspension at the DW Stadium has led to Latics boss Roberto Martinez activating a recall clause in the deal that became active after 28 days of his stay in the midlands.[LNB]Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo told the club's official website: "We're really sorry to see Ben go. He's a great lad who has settled in really well and made a vital contribution to our season.[LNB]"But this is always a possibility when you loan a player and I would like to wish him and Wigan all the best for the rest of the season.[LNB]"Thankfully, we've got a few other options in that area as we've got a few midfielders returning to fitness."
