Adam Webster could help Albion through a defensive crisis.

But Igor has been added to their injury list.

The Brazilian's absence and a one-match suspension for Lewis Dunk leave Jan Paul van Hecke as the only senior, specialist centre-back available to start the game at West Ham.

Webster has been out for several weeks but head coach Roberto De Zerbi said: “He can play a part of the game in the second half if we need him.”

De Zerbi’s options at the back look very limited although he could use van Hecke, Pervis Estupinan and one other in a three.

Jack Hinshelwood could be a candidate for the right-sided berth if he opts for that but the teenager is a doubt and will be checked tomorrow.

James Milner will again play after his impressive performance against Tottenham and Facundo Buonanotte, who went off in that game, has been passed fit.
