ALBION boss Russell Slade is facing another midfield selection dilemma.

Alan Navarro could be fit for Saturday's home game against Wycombe Wanderers, forcing Slade to choose again between the former MK Dons player and Gary Dicker.

Navarro suffered a foot injury in the first half of Friday's 1-1 draw at Millwall.

He was unable to train yesterday but Slade said: "He has a decent chance of being available for Saturday".

Dicker replaced Navarro in the second half at Millwall as Albion came from behind to earn a point.

It was only his second appearance of the season, although Slade believes the Irishman will not be surprised by his absence from the starting line-up so far.

"He didn't have the greatest of pre-seasons," Slade said. "I don't mean on the fitness side but in terms of transferring that into game situations... We had six games pre-season and he could have done better." Jake Wright (hamstring) and Jim McNulty (ankle) are rated very doubtful for Wycombe's visit.

Albion were hoping to have at least one of them back to fill the problem left-back position but their recoveries have slowed down.

Tommy Elphick, suspended for the Millwall stalemate has a run-out in the reserves in their opening game of the season at Leyton Orient this afternoon.

A strong line-up also features Kevin McLeod, who has been absent from the squad for the last two matches due to a family bereavement.

Glenn Murray has begun his rehabilitation programme under the supervision of physio Jim Joyce following further hernia surgery last week. The unsettled striker will be sidelined for another fortnight.

The best Murray can now hope for this year is a loan move back north, with the transfer window for permanent deals closing at 5pm today.

Slade is still hoping to bolster his defensive options, while the possibility remains of clubs firming up their interest in fringe members of his squad.

Albion, Southampton and Southend are the only sides yet to win in League One this season after Wycombe's 2-1 victory at home to Bristol Rovers on Saturday.

Peter Taylor's promoted team entertain Northampton tonight in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Albion Reserves: Pelling or Walker; Cook, Elphick, Hawkins, Livermore; M Wright, J Smith, Thornhill, McLeod; Hart, Davies. Subs: Pelling or Walker, Ide, Brinkhurst, Barker, Smith.
