Albion have Vicente available for the first home game of the season against Cardiff at The Amex tomorrow night.

Boss Gus Poyet has confirmed the Spaniard is fit for selection after he missed Saturday's opening Championship defeat at Hull with an inflamed thigh tendon.

Will Buckley is also close to a return from hamstring but the winger will be saved for Saturday's visit of Barnsley.

Poyet said: "Will looked very good but I don't think we will risk him. Another three or four days will be perfection."

Poyet has called for a repeat performance following the unfortunate defeat at Hull to get Albion up and running against Cardiff.

“If we maintain this level of performance I think we are going to win many, many games,” he said. “The idea now is to maintain that, the consistency that we didn’t have last year.”
