Two returning loanees are working with the Albion squad ahead of the FA Cup tie at Stoke city.

Jensen Weir and Cam Peupion both featured in the latest pictures from the training ground.

Weir is back from a stint at Blackpool while Peupion recently returned early from a loan at Cheltenham.

Any involvement for one or both would drop a strong hint as to plans for the rest of the season.

Adam Webster, who suffered cramp at West Ham on Tuesday, did not appear in any of the 40 pictures from Thursday morning’s session as Albion took the chance to work with Mitre’s FA Cup matchballs.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi will speak to the media this afternoon, when he could give some hints as to his line-up, before heading to the Potteries for the third-round tie.
