Martin Montoya is fit for Albion’s trip to Newcastle.
But fellow wing-back Bernardo is expected to miss out.
Montoya sat out the home draw with Burnley last Saturday due to tonsillitis while Bernardo had taken a knock in training.
Illness has cleared up for right-sided Montoya.
Head coach Graham Potter said of Bernardo today: “He had a kick last week, which we are just getting to the bottom of.
“He shouldn’t be too bad and there is an outside chance he should be available for the game but probably more so next week, unless we get some different news.”
Potter reported Leandro Trossard is “making good progress” after suffering a groin injury while with Belgium.
Leon Balogun and Alireza Jahanbakhsh also picked up minor injuries on international duty.
