Robbie Pethick is on standby for Albion at Oldham tomorrow, as an emergency goalkicker.
The rightback took the goalkicks in the second half of Tuesday's 1-0 home win over Tranmere after Michel Kuipers suffered a recurrence of a thigh injury.
Boss Peter Taylor said: "We have just got to be a bit careful. There is not a threat that Michel is going to miss a match, he is just struggling a little bit with his kicking.
"Robbie Pethick strikes a fantastic ball anyway. He gets long distance, so that helps us a little bit."
Kuipers bids to complete a hat-trick of clean sheets at Boundary Park since returning from the thigh problem which ruled him out for seven matches.
"I felt it during the Tranmere game, so as a precaution Robbie Pethick took the goalkicks in the second half," explained the big Dutchman.
"I kicked in the first half, but the physio (Malcom Stuart) said it was better to be cautious.
"It's the same injury and it is getting better all the time. The level of pain was much higher than it is now, so hopefully in a few days I will be 100 per cent."
Rookie Will Packham was on the bench on Tuesday as cover for Kuipers and he is likely to retain that role for the rest of Albion's promotion challenge.
