Jakub Moder is on course for his first Albion start in 22 months.

The Poland international is expected to face Stoke City in the FA Cup third round.

He has come off the bench in five recent matches after recovering from a knee injury.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi today said Moder will play at the Bet365 Stadium.

The Albion boss has not forgotten the disappointment of Wembley in last season’s semi-final and is eyeing another cup run.

He said: “We are going to play with the best team I can choose.

"Moder plays. And then you will see tomorrow."

Moder's last start came in a 2-1 defeat at Newcastle on March 5, 2022.
