Newcastle will be without captain Jamaal Lascelles against Albion at the Amex.
The central defender has been ruled out of the clash by illness.
Boss Rafa Benitez revealed: "We have lost this week Lascelles because he has had a stomach illness all week.
"It's nothing serious, but during the week, he has not been training with the team."
Record signing Miguel Almiron has been to see a specialist in Spain about the hamstring injury he suffered in Saturday's 3-1 Premier League win over Southampton which has ended his season and left him facing a race against time to be fit for Paraguay in the Copa America in Brazil.
