Argentina midfielder Ever Banega could get his first run out since the Copa America final – at the Amex today.
But his Sevilla team mate Ciro Immobile looks set to miss the Europa League winners’ friendly against Albion (4pm).
Banega rejoined his club colleagues this week after international duty followed by a holiday and sat out Friday night’s 1-0 win at Vicarage Road.
But he is believed to have a good chance today of his first minutes since he helped Argentina to a 0-0 draw with Chile in the Copa America decider before losing in a shoot out.
Immobile, a summer loan signing from Borussia Dortmund, was advised to rest for 48 hours after taking a blow to the head when contesting a high ball early in the game at Vicarage Road.
However former Chelsea winger Gael Kukuta is expected to play today.
There could also be a decent outing for former Arsenal star Jose Antonio Reyes, who joined the action at Watford in the 65th minute and set up the winning goal for Vitolo.
