Heard it was a head injury/clash of heads sort of thing. Hopefully just precautionary and nothing too serious.

- Start date

Hotdogs, extra onions
According to the Nigerian Daily Post, which I have delivered daily... 
Balogun is out.
Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has been forced to make two changes to his desired starting XI against Croatia.
Leon Balogun is set to sit out the match, after picking up an injury. He failed to take part in the training sessions ahead of the game and will be replaced by Kenneth Omeruo.
Shehu Abdullahi will also take the place of Tyronne Ebuehi, who sustained a nose injury in training.
19-year-old Francis Uzoho starts in goal, while John Mikel Obi will captain the team.

Balogun has opted for a longer rest period between Saturday’s match in Johannesburg and the restart of action in the English Premier League, which he would have been denied had been available to play against Uganda on Tuesday.
Consequently, Balogun has been allowed to return to Europe, and will not be in the squad to battle The Cranes of Uganda "

Wigan reportedly interested in loaning him.

That'll free up a squad place.

Confirmed by Naylor. At 30 he needs first team football but we've now only 4 CBs, two of which are actually fit. Probably won't be playing 3atb any time soon

Possibility that Warren O'Hora will be on the bench tomorrow.

didn't rate him much but a good servant nonetheless and will forever be an Albion icon due to THAT goal

Much as I agree he scotred a good goal, I think you're overlooking the error he made in every appearance. There was always one per game and it seemed to cost us a goal most of the time.
As with any Albion player leaving, cheers for being part of our history and all the best for the future.
Not really puzzling (and not a loan, he's left us permanently) - he's already been there for months. Webster (according to reports) is 'minor' (implication is he'll be fit for Man U). Who else is injured ? Burn can easily slot in at CB, as could Bernardo if anyone else gets crocked.

That post from Spanish flair dates to January, old bean. Refers to the original loan out.
This is the Albion, there are bins at Lancing they could put a bib on and they'd still be better centre backs than anyone palace could produce.
