It is very frustrating that the club give no real information about injuries and expected come back times, I'm guessing that they don't want to get everyone's hopes up but it is so annoying, as a "customer" if I wanted to know when an out of stock item would be back stock at a shop they would be able to tell me...

Rarely even plays for us, even when he's picked and on the pitch.

Errrr does anyone remember the OP's question?, because in over 20 replies hardly anyone has tried to answer it!

So essentially, no one has any clue about the injury status of 5 key players who are out and not sure IF/When they're coming back?
Lua Lua, Bent, Stephens, Greer, Baldock - Our only serious playmaker, our loaned ex-England CF, possibly our only current creative midfielder, our club captain and the bloke we spunked $2M on?
Seriously, we are all utterly in the dark?

Lamie has reported that Stephens indicated at the Xmas party that he'll be back in January 2015.
Greer told me at the Xmas party that he was one or two weeks away. An Argus report suggested it might be a tad longer than that.
Nathan said that Bent had a minor groin strain.
Reports from club said that Baldock wasn't far away from playing against Reading.
No idea on KLL.

Sami never knew when injured players were coming back. Always commented that he was not medical and did not know "if they will be able to train "with us" !!"

Kazenga LuaLua is creeping closer to his Albion comeback.
The influential winger has been out since the end of November with knee trouble.
Boss Chris Hughton said today: "He's not as close as we would like but he's making good progress.
"He hasn't had any setbacks, which is good. He has been out, of course, for a period of time.
"He's out doing his rehab work, twisting and turning. He hasn't been involved in any football work with the group yet.
"We are hoping over the course of the next week, week-and-a-half, he might be able to join in some sessions, and then it is assessing how far he is off from there.
"At the moment we are not putting any timsescale on it but he is going in the right direction."
Midfielder Dale Stephens, sidelined since April by ankle ligament and nerve damage, has suffered no further setbacks in his recovery quest.
Hughton said: "The difficulty with Dale, as opposed to Kazenga, is that he has been out for a long time. At this particular moment he is making good progress. He's not had any problems.
"He's a very fit lad. We will have to assess how many development games he would need to get back up to speed."

This is the first detailed report we've had from B&HA about the recovery of our players for a long time. Hughton IN.
No mention of poor old Agustien.it will be like a new signing when he gets fit.severnside gull

Indeed. Although I suspect this may have rather more to do with the Argus being asked repeatedly to do the job of a local paper and find out!

Absolutely, the fans are very interested. Although l suspect that advising fans/media re a progress report wasn't down to the manager.

Further news:
Albion have received a midfield double injury boost.
Jake Forster-Caskey is expected to be available for Ipswich's visit on Wednesday evening.
And Dale Stephens has been pencilled in to end his nine-month absence in the under-21s next week.
The ankle and calf injuries sustained respectively by striker Craig Mackail-Smith and substitute centre-half Greg Halford in Saturday's home defeat by Brentford are also only short-term, although both are likely to miss the Ipswich game.
England under-21 Forster-Caskey was withdrawn early in the second half against Brentford due to a minor hip problem.
Boss Chris Hughton, speaking about the trio of injuries from Saturday, said: "we're very confident that none of them are serious, but it’s about assessing them again today and seeing their availability and we'll give them every opportunity to settle down.
"Craig’s ankle is a little bit swollen so we need to see how much that settles down over the next 24 hours. Jake was his hip, that one has settled down reasonably well so we are reasonably confident.
"Greg we'll have to wait and see. It's a calf and sometimes that can take a little bit longer, but we'll give it every opportunity that we can. Of course, it's disappointing from one game to have picked up three injuries."
Halford's probable absence is compounded by Lewis Dunk's one-match ban against Ipswich, but the progress report on Stephens and winger Kazenga LuaLua, sidelined since November by knee trouble is encouraging.
Stephens has not played since suffering ankle ligament and nerve damaged against Yeovil at the Amex in April.
He has been earmarked to feature for the under-21s against Middlesbrough at the Sussex FA headquarters in Lancing next Monday (7pm).
Hughton said: "Kazenga is making good progress, Dale is making good progress and we're hoping that he can play some part of an under-21 game next week.
"It will take Dale a while. It is okay doing as much rehab as you can, but what you face in a competitive Championship game is completely different.
"He'll know that because he's used to it, so we'll make sure we make the right decisions. When you have a player returning from injury you want them to return and stay."
