Will Buckley is back in the frame to face Leeds after more than six weeks on the sidelines.
Will Buckley is back in contention for Albion's key clash against fellow play-off contenders Leeds United at The Amex tomorrow night.
Head coach Oscar Garcia has confirmed the right-winger is available for selection, together with midfielder Jake Forster-Caskey, after both players came through today's training session at Withdean.
Buckley, the subject of a rejected bid from Sunderland during the January transfer window, has not played since suffering more hamstring trouble at Blackpool on December 29.
Forster-Caskey missed Saturday's 1-0 home win against Doncaster Rovers with a hamstring injury.
So too did Andrews and the Irishman's hamstring problem will keep him on the sidelines for the visit of Leeds.
Craig Mackail-Smith will not be involved in a development friendly at Bournemouth today as he continues his recovery from 11 months out with Achilles and ankle injuries.
The match is being played due to the bad weather on a 4G pitch, which is regarded as unsuitable for Mackail-Smith at this stage of his recovery.
Will Hoskins' hopes of resuming training following his long lay-off with cruciate knee ligament damage are being hampered by the soft training pitches.
The striker is back in a protective boot as a precaution but could make his comeback in a development game in the next couple of weeks if the weather improves.
