Albion boss Gus Poyet has ruled George Barker out of the Championship play-off semi-final against Crystal Palace.
The young striker came on as a late substitute against Wolves at The Amex on Saturday but is currently in court at The Old Bailey on a charge of sexual assault.
Poyet said: "It's all about mental strength and unfortunately I don't think George is in the best mental situation to be involved in a game like this.
"Some people are special and they do even better but no, not at all."
