West Brom crock Gera explains latest setback

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Zoltan Gera took to Facebook to confirm he will be out for another fortnight after sustaining a thigh injury. "I got many anxious messages after it was published on the WBA website that I wouldn't play against Arsenal," the Hungarian international wrote on his official Facebook page.

"There is no serious problem, but it is true that I won't be involved tonight.

"I have had a tiny teardrop muscle strain so I have reduced my number of training sessions. I'm not happy with it but the doctors have said it was expected because of the hard training I've done in the last few weeks.

"Doctors say I may be able to play matches within a fortnight."
