ALBION winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury.

But Chris Hughton expects his Iranian record buy to be available at Bournemouth on Saturday.

Jahanbakhsh was scheduled to return to the squad against Chelsea yesterday after suffering a hamstring injury at Everton last month.

Hughton revealed: "He's had a very slight setback. We had to make a decision whether to play him or not take the risk.

"We decided not to take the risk, hence he wasn't on the bench.

"It was really a precaution. When somebody's at a stage where they've come through an injury and they are at the end of it, if you are still a little bit unsure then it's not right to take that risk."
