Tony Pulis handed boost for West Brom trip to West Ham as Jonny Evans and Claudio Yacob declared fit

Jonny Evans and Claudio Yacob have handed West Brom a double boost after proving their fitness.

Defender Evans has missed the last month with a calf problem but is in the squad to travel to West Ham on Saturday.

Midfielder Yacob is also ready to return after suspected appendicitis forced him to miss last weekend's 1-0 win over Stoke.

Evans' problem frustrated boss Tony Pulis as he initially struggled to recover and Yacob required hospital treatment last week but the problem was not as bad as first feared.

"Jonny will be fit for selection and Yac as well," said Pulis.
