West Brom’s official Twitter account have played on the heartstrings of the Hawthorns faithful with their latest post.
A video of defender Ahmed Hegazi has appeared with the player featuring in training yesterday.
The 28-year-old has so far missed all of the current campaign after it was decided he needed surgery to resolve an injury that had bothered him for quite some time.

He had also featured for Egypt in the summer’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
