Albion expect to be without Jeremy Sarmiento for up to two months.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi said he is disappointed to lose the Ecuador international for a busy period.

Sarmiento fractured a metatarsal while on international duty.

De Zerbi said he would be out for a month-and-a-half to two months.

He added: We are sorry for Jeremy because now we endure a very tough period, a tough month with seven games.

“We will play every three days and it would be better to have a complete squad, but we will be ready.
