Tom Rogic in line for West Brom debut as Celtic hero steps up 'intense work' with Word Cup dream alive

STEVE BRUCE has revealed that Tom Rogic is in line to make his West Brom debut this weekend after stepping up his fitness work over the international break.

The Celtic hero linked up with the Baggies this summer after departing Parkhead at the end of the season.

Rogic will be aiming to gain some crucial minutes ahead of the World Cup this November with Australia primed for the tournament later this year.

The Aussie midfielder is yet to make his Championship debut for his new club, but Bruce has revealed that he could feature against Swansea.

"He will be involved," the West Brom manager told the club website.

"These last couple of weeks have allowed us to get plenty of intense work into him in a bid to get him as close to where we need him to be in a physical sense.

“He’s crammed a lot of work in over the last ten days.

“Having watched him over the international break in training, he’s a very, very good footballer.

“I’m sure he’s going to be a big addition for us.”
