Sam Adekugbe has added to Albion's defensive injury crisis.

The left-back on loan from Vancouver Whitecaps for the season went off ten minutes into tonight's 2-0 defeat for the under-23s at Aston Villa.

Adekugbe was making his comeback from hamstring trouble.

Bruno (groin), Shane Duffy (foot), Connor Goldson (heart), Seb Pocognoli (groin) and Gaetan Bong (knee) are already defensive casualties, while new signing Vegard Forren is not fit yet having been signed out-of-season from Norway.
