# West Brom: Brandon Thomas-Asante out of Hull clash

**[West Brom](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-brom-news/) midfielder Brandon Thomas-Asante has been ruled out of the [Championship](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/championship-news/) clash with Hull City, journalist Lewis Cox has confirmed.**

### The Lowdown: Big game for Baggies

Carlos Corberan’s side are back in league action on Friday evening, with victory at Hull taking them to [eighth](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/table) place in the table, for the time being at least.

West Brom’s opponents are in 16th position and are neither threatened by relegation or pushing for promotion, so it is a winnable fixture for the visitors.

Ahead of the game, the Baggies have suffered a concerning injury blow, though.

### The Latest: Thomas-Asante ruled out

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/LewisCox_star/status/1631306861579255808?s=20), Cox said that Thomas-Asante is definitely of Friday’s game through injury and could miss more action:

> “Been to Albion and it’s a big blow. Brandon Thomas-Asante (hamstring) misses tomorrow and poss next week too.”

Grady Diangana, Jake Livermore and Karlan Grant are also out.

### The Verdict: Undoubted setback

This is a clear blow for West Brom, with Thomas-Asante an important figure throughout this season, [scoring five goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331235/Show/Brandon-Thomas-Asante) in 11 Championship starts and also netting twice in as many FA Cup appearances.

The 24-year-old is a strong source of end product and has been [described](https://twitter.com/LewisCox_star/status/1565813568263553026?s=20) as ‘unbelievable’ by Cox himself, following his [dramatic late equaliser](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/west-bromwich-albion/2022/09/02/west-brom-1-1-burnley---report/) against Burnley earlier in the season.

Hopefully, Corberan’s men will have enough to get past Hull, however, with a victory there feeling big in the promotion battle, not to mention putting pressure on their rivals ahead of the weekend fixtures.
