Slaven Bilic has explained why Ahmed Hegazi missed out of West Bromwich Albion’s League Cup game against Harrogate Town on Wednesday.
The Egypt international was an unused substitute as the Baggies bowed 3-0 to Leicester City in Sunday’s Premier League encounter.
Against the League Two outfit, he was expected to feature with the manager’s decision to rest Nigeria’s Semi Ajayi, Kyle Bartley. Nevertheless, he was not listed for action as the Hawthorns’ giants cruised to a 3-0 victory.
Bilic disclosed that the 29-year-old suffered a hamstring injury during training, thus, was unavailable for selection against Simon Weaver’s side – while hoping the injury is a ‘smaller one’.
