Albion have got “lots of options” to cover for Yves Bissouma IF he cannot face Arsenal.

But Graham Potter admits there is not a direct replacement.

Bissouma remains a doubt for the Gunners’ visit due to a knee injury.

Pascal Gross joined Adam Lallana in the engine room at kick-off as Albion drew at Crystal Palace on Monday.

Potter said: “We haven’t got a direct replacement for Yves.

“He is unique. We have to find a solution as a team.

“You have got lots of options. There are the two that you mentioned (Lallana and Gross), there is Jakub Moder, Alexis Mac Allister, Steven Alzate, but he is going to be injured now but that is a blow for him. But we have got other options.

“I thought for Pascal and Adam it was a tough game in the first half especially.

“We did not have too many options ahead of them so we had to address that a little bit.

“I thought it was better for them in the second half, so delighted for those two guys, they kept going.

“They played their part in helping us get back into the game.

“We just have to find the right replacement for Yves if he does not make the game.”
