Nigeria forward Josh Maja will spend around four months on the sidelines a due to an ankle ligament injury.
Maja sustained the injury in the clash with Sunderland.
The 24-year-old was on the end of a challenge from Dan Ballard and forced off during the first-half at the Stadium of Light.
West Brom manager Carlos Corberán revealed he is likely to undergo surgery and will not be available until the latter stages of the Sky Bet Championship campaign.
“In the tackle against Sunderland they injured all the ligaments in his ankle, it depends and the doctors still need to ask for a second opinion to see if there is any ligament to fix without surgery.” Corberán said.
“Normally he will need surgery and be out of the team for the next four months. It’s the worst news we can give.”
