Kaoru Mitoma is back in action.
The Albion winger went on as sub midway through the second half for Japan today.
They beat Bahrain 3-1 to reach the last eight of the Asian Cup.
Japan will play their quarter-final on Saturday.
Mitoma has been out of action since suffering an ankle injury in Albion’s 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace just before Christmas.
Japan picked him for their squad hoping he could play some part in the knockout stages.
Simon Adingra also remains away from his club after helping Ivory Coast reach the last eight of AFCON.
