# Mulumbu in contention to feature against West Brom

Youssouf Mulumbu is in line to feature for Norwich against his former club West Brom on Saturday, according to [Chris Wise from the Eastern Daily](https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/mulumbu_gets_an_hour_under_his_belt_for_city_under_21s_1_4278726)[Press](https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/mulumbu_gets_an_hour_under_his_belt_for_city_under_21s_1_4278726).

The Congolese international midfielder hasn’t played a competitive game for The Canaries since his free transfer to the club in the summer.

The ex-Baggies man broke his foot in the club’s pre-season friendly with Brentford and has been sidelined ever since.

However, Mulumbu played an hour for the Norwich Under 21 side in their 2-1 defeat to Leicester in the Premier League International Cup and is now pushing to feature in the first team this weekend.

Mulumbu joined West Brom in 2009 and was a prominent member of their first team in the five years he was there.

Norwich were thrashed 6-2 by Newcastle in their last Premier League outing, so it wouldn’t be a huge shock if Alex Neil decided to make changes, and Mulumbu could well be one of the players he turns to in order to add more steel to the midfield.
