Meite and Barnett to miss West Brom's game with Bolton

Mar 20 2009 by Christopher Lepkowski, Birmingham Mail

ABDOULAYE Meite and Leon Barnett will miss tomorrow’s clash with Bolton due to injuries.

Meite, who also missed Monday’s trip to West Ham, has a hamstring problem and is also ill.

Tony Mowbray has revealed that Barnett faces a few weeks on the sidelines due to a recurring knee injury.

“It continually flares up and we’ve decided to take a look at it,” the manager said.

“I’m not sure he is out for the season. I think it’s a bit dramatic for me to say that.

“But he is going to take a few weeks to let it settle down before we decide whether he needs to go in and have it looked at or whether it responds to rest.

“Meite has a hamstring problem. It’s only mild but he is ill on top of that.”
