West Brom v Birmingham: Andreas Weimann, Mikey Johnston and Callum Marshall updates emerge
Andreas Weimann, Mikey Johnston and Callum Marshall are all available for West Brom v Birmingham, according to Lewis Cox.
The Express and Star journalist claims that none of them will probably be named in the starting eleven by Carlos Corberan.
Johnston was the final one to join, moving to Hawthorns on Deadline Day from Celtic.
Via Twitter, “Weimann, Marshall and Johnston possibly unlikely to start tomorrow but Carlos Corberan heads into Sat and beyond with attacking decisions, competition and depth. And what a relief that will be.”
Makes sense
For Corberan, gradually introducing these players allows them to adapt to his tactical system and the demands of the Championship at their own pace.
With Johnston being the latest addition, it’s understandable that he might not immediately slot into the starting eleven without sufficient time to fully integrate into the team’s dynamics.
From a tactical perspective, having these new signings available off the bench provides Corberan with valuable options during the game.
Their introduction can inject fresh energy, exploit tactical weaknesses in the opposition or provide a different attacking dimension when needed most.
For West Brom fans, seeing these signings gradually integrated into the squad shouldn’t be cause for concern.
It signifies a thoughtful approach to squad management and ensures that the team’s long-term success is prioritised over short-term gains.
Trusting Corberan’s judgment and understanding that these players will contribute positively when the time is right should alleviate any worries about their immediate impact.
