Albion are supporting Jose Izquierdo from afar as he continues his long recovery from a knee injury.
But there is no imminent prospect of him returning to action.
Izquierdo, who celebrates his 28th birthday today, has not featured at all under head coach Graham Potter.

The Albion boss said: “He has been back in Colombia. He’s been doing his rehab there and obviously with the lockdown he’s been with his family.
“He has kept that up as we speak with him with the medical department and we’re monitoring the situation there.
“It’s disappointing for him because obviously he wants to get back and be healthy but he has had such a long, long time away that it’s a complicated one for him and for us.
“We just have to do our best and support him as best we can.”
