Roberto De Zerbi has given his thoughts on how Albion will look next season.

But he does not expect Solly March to be there for the kick-off.

De Zerbi has already ruled out Pervis Estupinan for the opening weeks of the 2024-25 campaign.

He said: “I think we have two great goalkeepers and then first of all we have to analyse the injured players.

“In defence we have to bring someone, a full-back or centre-back.

“For sure in midfield the same.

“I don’t know how much time Evan Ferguson needs (to recover from injury).

“I think with Welbeck, Enciso, Undav if Deniz stays and Joao Pedro, we don’t need a No.9 or No.10. We have four big players.

“Mitoma and March are crucial for us.”

March does not currently look like making the start of the season.

De Zerbi said: "I think no, because he has not started to run.

“I don't know if one month is enough to start the pre-season with the group."
