Albion boss Oscar Garcia has praised the defensive midfield partnership which helped knock leaders Leicester off the top of the Championship.

Former Chelsea pair Liam Bridcutt and Rohan Ince started together for the first time in the 3-1 victory over the Foxes at The Amex, with Andrew Crofts pushed further forward.

Oscar told The Argus: "I think they (Bridcutt and Ince) can play together. All good players can play together. It's up to the manager to try to find the best position for them.

"Rohan is young but when we are watching him he seems an experienced player. He has to improve a lot of things but he wants to do it and this for me is the most important thing.

"At the start of the season Rohan was a central defender but I think he can exploit his abilities more in midfield."

Oscar confirmed Gordon Greer went off with a calf problem and Will Buckley missed out with an ankle injury.

Tomasz Kuszczak missed the match with a stomach muscle strain sustained in the warm-up.
