ALBION will have some of their big-hitters back for Friday’s visit of Sheffield Wednesday.

Central defender Lewis Dunk, on target against the Owls in the play-offs last season, is available again after a two-match ban.

Manager Chris Hughton also expects to have Dale Stephens, Gaetan Bong and Seb Pocognoli to bolster the squad.

Midfielder Stephens missed the 2-0 defeat at Preston through illness and left-back Gaetan Bong was sidelined by a minor injury. Second choice left-back Seb Pocognoli has missed the last four matches with a groin problem.

Hughton said of Bong: “It was just a little issue with his knee. We are hoping both him and Seb will be available for Friday.”

Sam Adekugbe on loan from Vancouver Whitecaps for the season, made his league debut with Bong and Pocognoli both ruled out.

Hughton said: “I chose to play him on the strength of his performances in the (FA) Cup game (against MK Dons) and earlier in the season at Oxford (League Cup).

“It’s a good learning curve for him, a tough one for him, because he was up against good opposition. He’ll certainly learn from it.”
