West Brom boss Alan Irvine hopes strikers Brown Ideye and Victor Anichebe will be back in training next week.

The Nigeria internationals have missed Albion's last two matches with ankle and groin problems respectively.

But Irvine provided a positive bulletin on their recovery on Thursday and confirmed they are close to returning to work - winger Silvestre Varela could also be back next week after a minor groin operation.

"We are expecting Brown and Victor to train at the beginning of next week - certainly Brown, Victor we are not as confident about," Irvine said.

"He's 50-50 in terms of being able to train on Monday, but Brown we are almost certain will train then."
