West Brom defender Ahmed Hegazi is closing in on a return to the first-team after he rejoined the squad in training yesterday.

The Egypt international hasn't featured under new boss Slaven Bilic after having surgery on an ankle injury over the summer and he has been missed.

However, the club revealed on Twitter that he is back with the main group as he looks to build up his fitness in the coming weeks.

Even though Albion are unbeaten this season, they haven't yet kept a clean sheet and that will be a concern to the manager moving forward.

So, the chance to bring back Hegazi, who has been crucial to the west Midlands outfit since joining from Al Ahly in 2017, could make a real difference.

The supporters certainly feel that will be the case and they were delighted by the update on the no-nonsense defender.

Here we look at some of their comments on Twitter...
