Fran Sandaza has made his first appearance for Albion.
The Seagulls’ new Spanish striker played the first half of a reserve team friendly at Reading yesterday.
Goalkeeper Peter Brezovan and skipper Gordon Greer also had run-outs in the opening 45 minutes of the match at Reading’s Finchampstead training ground.
Brezovan made his comeback from a fractured wrist sustained in pre-season training, while Greer has just completed a three-match suspension.
The side also included recent midfield signing Liam Bridcutt and assistant manager Mauricio Taricco.
Albion’s first half equaliser in a 1-1 draw was scored from a free-kick by Taricco’s fellow Argentinian Cristian Baz.
Reading featured in their line-up Lee Hendrie, who had a loan spell with Albion last season, and ex-Seagull Ivar Ingimarsson.
The Icelandic defender headed the home team into an early lead on his return from a long-term hamstring injury.
