Super Eagles striker, Brown Ideye is doubtful for West Bromwich Albion's premier league clash this weekend against the Alan Pardew motivated Crystal Palace.

Ideye, who pulled out of the Nigerian friendly games against Uganda and South Africa in March is not fully fit for his side, and coach Tony Pulis has expressed concern over the injury of the Nigerian international.

Pulis said that the former Dynamo Kiev striker got a knock in training which has now made him doubtful for the game at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

“Browny has got a little bit of a knock so we're not sure if he will be fit to start or not. We're hoping that he will be okay," Pulis told a news conference ahead of the game.

The AFCON 2013 winning player has scored seven goals in all competitions for West Bromwich Albion this season.

The Baggies are in 14th place on the Barclays Premier League log with 33 points from 32 games this season.
