Adam Lallana has welcomed back Albion’s international wingers.

But he says the squad have added to their tactical repertoire in their absence.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi improvised in the absence of Kaoru Mitoma and Simon Adingra.

Lallana said: “I think where the manager comes into his own is tactically.

“How smart he is, subtle details.

“We have been working on them with him for a long time now so it has become second nature to us as well.

“Having different personnel with different attributes and characteristics always helps because it gives you different options.

“It’s great to have the two boys back.”
