Jake Livermore sends two-word message after Karlan Grant return latest at West Brom
Jake Livermore is delighted with the return of Karlan Grant to West Bromwich Albion training.
Grant has been ruled out long-term at The Hawthorns, last playing at the end of January in the 1-1 draw against Derby County.
Things have changed dramatically since then, with West Brom fighting relegation down to League One, but picking up positive results under James Morrison.
With a possible points deduction coming after being charged by the EFL for an alleged breach of PSR, the Baggies will need to secure as many points as possible from their final four.
It’s a great start to that, with Grant seemingly back from injury ahead of the trip to Preston.

Grant back on the grass was a brilliant update, with the rarely-seen Tammer Bany also back in action ahead of the trip to Deepdale.
Livermore loved seeing his old teammate back in action and was spotted in the comments.
Whether Grant will be fit enough to start at Deepdale is unknown, but he could certainly have a massive impact off the bench.
How has Karlan Grant performed this season?
With Grant’s contract expiring in a matter of weeks at the end of the season, he could need a huge final four games to agree upon new terms.
We haven’t seen that enough during his time at The Hawthorns, especially after becoming a marquee signing from Huddersfield for the Premier League.
Three goals and zero assists this season isn’t good enough either, with over 1,500 minutes played in the Championship, in 17 starts and 23 total appearances.
That would all be forgotten with positive impacts against Preston, Watford, Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday, with survival all that matters right now.
Wins are needed, given the possibility of a points deduction, and any contract negotiations will be on hold until the season is over.
Grant now has two weeks to prove that he deserves it after his return.
