Midfielder's Achilles injury is not serious

West Brom have been handed a boost with the news that Zoltan Gera's Achilles injury is not serious. Gera was forced off while captaining Hungary against Andorra on Friday with the Achilles problem. It was feared Gera may have suffered a serious injury after missing most of last season with a cruciate knee ligament problem suffered in November 2011. However, Gera has been able to return to training and is expected to be fit for Tuesday's clash with Holland. "His condition is much better, he was training with the team on Sunday," Hungary's team doctor Gyorgy Szilagyi told www.origo.hu. "Theoretically he's ready to play but of course this will be decided by the coach."
