Albion fear Kazenga LuaLua could be about to join their chronic long-term injury list.


  The explosive left-winger missed yesterday's 0-0 draw at Yeovil with the left knee tendon trouble which has been bothering him since pre-season.


  Assistant head coach Nathan Jones revealed to The Argus: "We wanted him to come to give us a little edge but he wasn't able to. It's just frustrating, just another one to add to the pile.


  "He's had problems with his knee. We've had it assessed. We're going to have it assessed further and see where we go from there."


  LuaLua was confident after playing against Nottingham Forest at The Amex before the international break that he would not need surgery but he has not trained since then.


  Jones said: "The specialist is going to have a look at it and then we should have more news. The fact that he wasn't here says a lot about the state he is in."


  Liam Bridcutt, Andrea Orlandi, Leo Ulloa, Craig Mackail-Smith, Kemy Agustien and Will Hoskins are already all weeks or months away from returning from injuries.


  Jones added: "There are seven starters missing who are big players for us and that's been the problem."

LuaLua fuelled the fears about his plight today when he tweeted: "Tough 8 weeks ahead. Gonna be so hard!"
