Albion expect Tariq Lamptey to be fit to start against his old club Chelsea.
The wing-back was a surprise omission from the XI for Friday evening’s clash with Crystal Palace.
He went on as sub and is now in contention to take on Chelsea on Tuesday.
Albion boss Graham Potter said: “Tariq was not ready to start.
“He had a tight abductor so he was not ready for 90 minutes.
“He is fine. He just missed a bit of training. Obviously with Tariq and what he has been through we erred on the side of caution.
“He had a couple of days of training and having some time (against Palace) will have done him real good to be available providing there is no problem.
“I don’t think there is any problem so I think he will be fine for Chelsea.”
