**West Brom [confirmed](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1470677060658110464) on Tuesday morning that fans attending Friday’s match away to Barnsley will need to present an NHS Covid-19 passport.**

West Brom were [refused](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59529430) permission by the EFL to postpone the fixture, but they still managed to grind out a [1-0](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59529430) win over Reading at The Hawthorns, extending their unbeaten home run to [11](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59529430) games.
