West Brom<\/a> defender Steven Reid<\/a> is a doubt for the game against Aston Villa<\/a> this weekend, although Scott Carson<\/a> and Jerome Thomas<\/a> should both feature for the hosts at The Hawthorns.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the clash, which will see West Brom try to overcome their local rivals for the first time in 26 years, Baggies boss Roy Hodgson confirmed the Republic of Ireland international had been given positive feedback from medics.<\/p>\n

However, the 30-year-old still faces a race against time to be fit for the clash, after a calf injury forced him off during West Brom\u2019s 2-2 draw with Tottenham last weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteven\u2019s not as bad as he could have been but he has a calf strain, so his participation on Saturday will be in doubt,” Hodgson told The Express and Star<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s far too early to make any real predictions though. He\u2019s had a scan which has confirmed a slight muscle tear \u2013 but a lot less than we originally feared.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope he\u2019ll recover for Saturday and if he doesn\u2019t make that, we hope it won\u2019t keep him out for any length of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about England international goalkeeper Carson, Hodgson added: \u201cHe\u2019s had a thigh problem for some time but the scan on that was also very positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll probably stop him from kicking too many balls in training this week, but he\u2019ll be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Liverpool and Fulham boss also confirmed winger Thomas will be available for Saturday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Hodgson said: \u201cHe\u2019s got a slight strain as well and didn\u2019t train yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s nothing serious. Hopefully, he\u2019ll be back by tomorrow or Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n
