Danny Welbeck was a notable absentee as Albion trained this morning ahead of their clash with Ajax.

The forward was not part of a 17-man group of outfield players working under the supervision of Roberto De Zerbi and his staff.

Tariq Lamptey and Solly March were also absent.

Jack Hinshelwood, the teenage midfielder who can also play at full-back, was involved.

De Zerbi has been handed a big decision at left-back after injuries to Pervis Estupinan, Lamptey and now Solly March.

James Milner would appear a candidate to take that role against Ajax with Joel Veltman highly likely to play at right-back against his old club.

De Zerbi is expected to update on injured players, including March, when he faces the media this afternoon.

Outfield players involved today were: Dunk, Webster, Igor, Van Hecke, Veltman, Gross, Milner, Baleba, Gilmour, Dahoud, Buonanotte, Hinshelwood, Adingra, Mitoma, Joao Pedro, Ferguson, Ansu Fati.
