West Brom boss reveals reason for winger's absence in win over Burnley
West Brom boss James Morrison has dismissed speculation over Mikey Johnston's future after the winger missed Saturday's win over Burnley.
Johnston was absent as the Baggies secured a victory, but Morrison confirmed the Republic of Ireland international was sidelined through injury rather than any transfer-related reason.

Asked if Johnston's absence was linked to speculation over his future, Morrison told the Express and Star : "No, that's far off it. He's got a knock to his ankle."
The Baggies will be looking to make it four wins in a row to start the season when they take on Premier League Newcastle in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
