STEVE BRUCE has revealed that Tom Rogic is in line to make his West Brom debut this weekend after stepping up his fitness work over the international break.
The Celtic hero linked up with the Baggies this summer after departing Parkhead at the end of the season.
Rogic will be aiming to gain some crucial minutes ahead of the World Cup this November with Australia primed for the tournament later this year.
The Aussie midfielder is yet to make his Championship debut for his new club, but Bruce has revealed that he could feature against Swansea.
"He will be involved," the West Brom manager told the club website.
"These last couple of weeks have allowed us to get plenty of intense work into him in a bid to get him as close to where we need him to be in a physical sense.
“He’s crammed a lot of work in over the last ten days.
“Having watched him over the international break in training, he’s a very, very good footballer.
“I’m sure he’s going to be a big addition for us.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
