With injury problems, Sir Bobby Robson will once again opt for youth. Ambrose is hoping for his debuet, and with all the injury problems and suspensions at the moment, he may well be in the squad to face West Brom.

Ambrose in line for Debut

Sir Bobby Robson will return to his former club determined to collect another three points. With injuries once again depleting his squad, Sir Bobby could yet again opt for youth.

Injury List

"He's fit now, clinically he's fit," said Robson. "Physically, he's well on the way. We've done a lot of work with him.

"We couldn't work him until his knee got better, but his knee's better so we have managed to put in a couple of reserve team matches for him and he looks good in training.

"He's 19 so with this little lot in two or three years' time, it should be quite good here.

"I have to think about Darren. Young Brian Kerr has played most of the season and in his last match he played very well for us at Everton.

"But I'm happy with young Ambrose. He's got his knee better, he's back in training and he's back in full harness. He's working well and he's looking very useful. He has very nice feet."
