Ben Foster is close to a return for West Brom [GETTY]
Foster has not played since the second game of the season because of a stress fracture to his right foot, but Baggies boss Steve Clarke says he is now almost fit again.
That will give Foster a chance of making the England squad for the World Cup.

Foster aims to be playing by the end of this month and Clarke said:“Ben Foster is coming along. I know you are all waiting on Foster coming back, but I think this week will be too soon for him.”
West Brom are away to Cardiff on Saturday , followed by a home game with Hull, two games the Baggies need to win to pull themselves out of a slump.
Victor Anichebe is out of the Cardiff fixture because of illness but Nicolas Anelka is fit and Scott Sinclair is recovered from hamstring trouble.
“We expect a tough game, as I’m sure Cardiff do,” said Clarke.
“Cardiff can survive in the Premier League. It’s an interesting season where the top teams are no longer a given when they play against the so-called lesser teams and I think that will continue.”
