West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Mowbray says losing Semi Ajayi to another injury is a big setback for the club.
Ajayi, who only returned from a previous injury will be sidelined for several weeks after suffering a hamstring injury.
The Nigeria international came off in the 41st minute of the Baggies 2-0 victory over Oxford United last weekend.
Albion confirmed the centre-back’s latest injury on Thursday and revealed he will now enter a period of rehabilitation.

“It’s disappointing for him, frustrating for him and for us. He’s got all the qualities to be a really talented player,” Mowbray told a press conference ahead of his side’s clash with Leeds United.
“He has got real confidence in his mobility to defend so it allows us to play a higher line and try and keep the opposition away from our goal.
“He will be a loss. A blow to us but we wish him a speedy recovery and we will get on with it with the fit players. We have to push on.”
The 31-year-old has made 14 league appearances for West Brom this season.
