Albion do not expect James Milner to face a lengthy absence.

The midfielder limped out of their 1-1 draw at Arsenal.

Summer signings Mats Wieffer, Ferdi Kadioglu and Brajan Gruda were also absent while Billy Gilmour moved to Napoli on the eve of the game.

Head coach Fabian Huerzeler said: “We have to do a scan and we have to control the pictures, what it will be, but I think it is not so bad.

“It looked a hamstring.”

Wieffer was again ruled out by a thigh injury and Huerzeler said Kadioglu, recently arrived from Turkey, had "a small issue with his hamstring".
