Ali Al-Habsi
First published in Albion by Andy Naylor, Chief sports reporter
Albion's on-loan goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi has helped Oman through to Sunday's semi-finals of the Gulf Cup in Saudi Arabia.
The experienced custodian borrowed from Wigan kept a clean sheet in Oman's 5-0 crushing of Kuwait this evening in their remaining group game in Jeddah.
The result casts fresh doubt over a pledge made to Albion by Al-Habsi that he will be available for Saturday's visit to Norwich.
