Leonardo Ulloa has not made Albion’s squad for today’s game at Birmingham.
It is assumed international clearance has not been received in time for the Argentinean striker signed on Wednesday for a fee believed to be £2 million.
Craig Mackail-Smith returns to the starting line-up after a hamstring injury in place of Will Buckley as they only change to the team that beat Derby 2-1 at The Amex a week ago.
Buckley is on the bench along with Vicente.
Birmingham have Marlon King on the bench along with Nikola Zigic. The highly-rated Jack Butland starts in goal with England under-19 international Rob Hall up front.
Albion: Kuszczak; Calderon, Greer, El-Abd, Bridge; Bridcutt, David, Hammond; Barnes, Mackail-Smith, Orlandi. Subs: Dicker, Vicente, Hoskins, LuaLua, Dunk, Dicker, Ankergren.
Birmingham: Butland; Caddis, Davies, Caldwell, Robinson; Burke, Gomis, Reilly, Elliott; Redmond, Hall. Subs: Hancox, Mullins, Morrison, Lovenkrands, King, Zigic, Doyle.
Referee: Phil Dowd (Staffordshire).
