Former Fulham utility man Chris Baird is unlikely to leave West Bromwich Albion any time soon despite being linked with a loan move to Fulham.
The Northern Ireland international has made little impact at The Hawthorns after being picked up as a summer free transfer.
That has led to speculation that the former Fulham man could return to Craven Cottage as Kit Symons looks to underpin his squad.
Indeed Fulham made an inquiry about the 32-year-old a short time ago but it was rebuffed and currently Albion have no plans to loan out any players close to the match-day squad.
There is a chance though that situation could alter in January, particularly if Baird remains on the fringes of Alan Irvine's squad.
