Aaron Connolly is linking up with the Republic of Ireland squad.

The Albion striker has recovered from a cracked rib but did not make the 20-man squad for the win over Newcastle.

His club are happy to see him join up with the national team.

Head coach Graham Potter said﹕ "He has been injured and he has just had a couple of days training.

"We didn’t want to rush him back into it. He needed some more time.

"But he is going to be available to go with the Irish international team and I think that will be good for him."
