West Brom news: Jonny Evans, Gareth Barry, Jake Livermore and Boaz Myhill to avoid legal action for Barcelona taxi theft

A Spanish court has decided not to pursue a case against the four West Brom players who allegedly stole a taxi in Barcelona last week, according to reports.

They were interviewed by local police at the time, but the quartet appear set to escape punishment because there is insufficient evidence to continue with the case, which, reports say, has been provisionally dismissed but could be reopened if new evidence comes to light.

West Brom were unavailable for comment when contacted by Press Association Sport.

The four players apologised for breaking a curfew in a collective statement on Friday, but West Brom manager Alan Pardew has said he was left "furious" by the incident.
