Albion hope to have top scorer Tomer Hemed fit to lead their attack at Bolton on Saturday.
The five-goal Israeli striker went off with hamstring tightness halfway through last Saturday's 0-0 draw at Wolves after having a penalty saved.
Manager Chris Hughton said today: "He has certainly made good progress this week and we are expecting him to train tomorrow and be okay.
"He hasn't trained in the early part of the week, which was very much a precaution, but we're very hopeful he will train tomorrow and, of course, if he trains tomorrow he will be fine for the weekend."
Uwe Huenemeier (hip) and Sam Baldock (minor concussion) are fit after missing the stalemate with Wolves.
Hughton confirmed: "They are both fine. They have both trained this week and so there are no issues with them."
Goalkeeper Christian Walton, whose temporary spell at Bury was curtailed by a groin injury, could return to action in the under-21s at Blackburn on Monday night. Hughton expects him to eventually go back out on loan again.
