Tommy Elphick was undergoing hernia surgery today and Albion expect to be without the young centre half for three weeks.
Manager Dean Wilkins said: "Tommy is having the operation today. We are talking possibly three weeks.
"Some players react differently to others, so we are not 100 per cent sure."
Striker Alex Revell is back in training, also after a hernia op.
