Albion have suffered an injury blow on the eve of the new season as midfielder Beram Kayal has been ruled out for up to ten weeks.

The 29-year-old suffered a broken fibula in the 3-2 friendly defeat to Atletico Madrid on Sunday and underwent an operation today.

Sam Baldock is still ruled out with a calf injury for Manchester City's visit on Saturday but Anthony Knockaert got valuable game time, alongside Glenn Murray yesterday, in a under-23 friendly with Bournemouth.
