Carlos Corberan hasn't exactly enjoyed a totally uninterrupted week of full training with his West Bromwich Albion players, as they prepare to welcome Preston North End to The Hawthorns on the final day of the season in which a positive result is still required if they're to book their place in the Championship play-offs.

Albion have licked their wounds after being devastatingly opened up by Sheffield Wednesday on a fateful afternoon at Hillsborough last Saturday. This was their third straight defeat, the first time such a sequence has occurred in Corberan's reign, and the one of the previous three losses in which they were especially deserving.

Albion have, aside from long-term absentees Jayson Molumby and Daryl Dike, appeared pretty healthy in recent weeks, so much so that Corberan was forced to leave Pipa, Erik Pieters and Andi Weimann out of his squad last weekend amid an embarrassment of options. Two players this week, though, haven't trained as normally as usual.

"When you have a long week, not always the players are going to guarantee the same number of training sessions," Corberan explained. "Asante couldn't start the week well. Before the previous game, he was still feeling something in his hamstring. With the minutes he was playing, he still felt something. It's not muscle, it's nerve, but he didn't train the first day of this week. Right now, he's training normally with the group.

"On the last day, he wasn't ready to start, but I was thinking that Wallace was the one who had to play at the front because he was excellent against Leicester. At the same time, he was not ready to start. Phillips is another player that we have been managing this season. Let's see how he arrives on Friday, in the conditions or not. The other players have been training normally."
