Robson-Kanu now faces a spell on the sidelines

West Brom and Wales striker Hal Robson-Kanu will have surgery after breaking his arm in the Baggies' defeat at Southampton on Sunday.

The 31-year-old, who was a second-half substitute, suffered the injury in a tangle with a Saints defender.

An X-ray confirmed the injury and he will have surgery on Wednesday.

Robson-Kanu will miss Wales' friendly against England and the Nations League games against Bulgaria and the Republic of Ireland.

"Playing on for 20 minutes was pretty painful, but no way was I leaving the team to play with 10 men," Robson-Kanu posted on social media on Tuesday.
