Record buy Alireza Jahanbakhsh will make his first Albion appearance in Nice tomorrow.

So too will Florin Andone in the penultimate friendly for Chris Hughton's side behind closed doors.

Hughton has confirmed to The Argus the pair will both be involved against Patrick Vieira's Ligue One outfit (4pm).

Iran World Cup winger Jahanbakhsh arrived from AZ Alkmaar last week for around £17 million.

The Argus: Romanian striker Andone (above), signed earlier in the summer from Deportivo La Coruna for £5.25 million, has played no part in the programme of friendlies so far because of a groin injury.

Lewis Dunk and Jose Izquierdo were not in the squad flying out to Southern France this afternoon.

Dunk has been rested after plenty of pre-season minutes, while Izquierdo was the last player back from World Cup duty after Colombia reached the last 16.

Jurgen Locadia, who suffered a groin injury in the run-out at AFC Wimbledon nine days ago, will resume training on Thursday.

The squad for Nice excludes as well a quartet of players likely to leave.

Sam Baldock's move to Reading should be finalised later today or tomorrow and Jiri Skalak's switch to Millwall is ongoing.

Oliver Norwood and Richie Towell, loaned out to Fulham and Rotherham respectively last season, also do not feature in Hughton's plans for Albion's second season in the Premier League.
