Matty Phillips: West Bromwich Albion forward out for four months with hamstring injury

West Bromwich Albion forward Matty Phillips will be out of action for four months because of a hamstring injury, manager Carlos Corberan has said.

The 32-year-old went off just before half-time in last Saturday's 2-1 home loss to Championship leaders Leicester.

Phillips has played in all West Brom's 19 league games this term, scoring three goals and making three assists.

"It's such a pity because he loves being part of the group and he loves football," Corberan said.

The Baggies boss said it is disappointing to lose a player who has played such a crucial role in Albion's start to the Championship season.
