West Bromwich Albion have been dealt a potential injury setback after Ahmed Hegazi was forced off in the first half of their Championship clash against Wigan Athletic.
The Egypt international pulled up in visible pain and requested treatment from the club medics around 43 minutes.
But it quickly became obvious the defender would not be able to play on and was replaced afterwards by Kyle Bartley.
Should Hegazi be forced to miss time it would be a blow for the promotion-chasing Baggies, with the Al Ahly loanee being in fine form for Slaven Bilicâs men.

An ankle injury suffered during the 2019 African Cup of Nations ruled him out for over five weeks and his return broke the stability to West Bromâs backline.
Bilicâs side remains unbeaten in their last six outings and a draw or victory over the Latics will keep them at the summit of the Championship.
They host Premier League outfit Newcastle United in Tuesdayâs FA Cup replay before travelling to Wales to try Swansea for size.
