West Brom striker Reyes Cleary is back in first-team training, at a time when Albion's attacking options are particularly thin.

Striker Cleary suffered a serious hamstring injury towards the end of last season and he hasn't yet made an appearance of any kind since this campaign began back in August.

Indeed even now, as he joins training with a host of other academy products to help flesh out Carlos Corberan's first-team training sessions, Cleary - who has scored 52 goals in 61 appearances at various levels of the youth set-up - will require more time to fully gather up his fitness.

The free-scoring forward has six senior appearances to his name, including a couple of starts in the EFL Cup under Steve Bruce last season and run-outs in the Championship under interim boss Richard Beale, but he's been unavailable to Albion since scoring a hat-trick in a 5-1 PL2 win over Derby County in April.

Pictures in Albion's pre-match gallery, on their official website, confirm that Cleary is training with the rest of the group, along with fellow youngsters including Kevin Mfuamba and Reece Hall, among others.

Corberan was asked about Cleary's rehabilitation back in September, and indicated even then that under 21 minutes will be in order for the striker before he is considered for first-team duties, as a way to continue his recovery and build up match fitness.

"He is still making recovery, one player after a long-term injury will need time," Corberan confirmed at the end of last month.

"He is one player that we wanted to loan out this season to have the experience on loan, unfortunately we couldn't because he was injured.

"So as soon as he's finished with the injury he will come in the under-21s team, because I watched he still needs to develop more to be part of the first-team squad.

Now one of the players up front who is giving an option is [Tom] Fellows, one player that didn't play yet, but one player we will put in the first-team squad.

"Where do you think Albion will finish in the Championship this season?.
