Albion will be without Kazenga LuaLua for the third match running at Leeds on Saturday.

The left-winger missed the draws against Bolton and Cardiff with a groin injury sustained in training.

He has made progress during the international break and manager Chris Hughton has pencilled him in for his comeback against Preston at the Amex on Saturday week.

Hughton said today: "He's close, at the moment probably still not close enough.

"He has been able to do some good work outside but he hasn't trained with the team yet so I think he'll certainly struggle Saturday and we'll possibly have a push for Tuesday (Bristol City at home).

"If not then I think we'd probably be more optimistic about the following Saturday."

Liam Rosenior and Solly March are set to continue in the wide positions at Elland Road, with Jamie Murphy serving the second of a three-match suspension for his controversial red card at Bolton.

March, skipper Gordon Greer, Beram Kayal and Tomer Hemed have all reported back from international duty unscathed.
