Albion suffered their second successive defensive blow of the season today – when Lewis Dunk limped off at the Amex.
Dunk was hurt in a challenge with Romelu Lukaku.
Though he twice had treatment and opted to continue, he eventually made way in the 20th minute.
He was replaced by Nigeria defender Leon Balogun, making his Albion debut.
Dub led the side out after club captain Bruno suffered misfortune.
Bruno went off in the first minute of last Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Watford with a hamstring injury.
Despite today’s setback. Albion reached the break with a 3-1 lead through goals by Glenn Murray, Dunk’s defensive sidekick Shane Duffy and Pascal Gross (penalty).
