Jack Harper has another chance to push towards first team involvement in Albion's under-21s tonight.
The 'Kid From Madrid' is in the squad to tackle West Ham at their Rush Green training ground.
Harper scored twice for Simon Rusk's prospects in a 3-3 draw at home to Fulham in their last match before Christmas.
The versatile Scottish attacker, signed from Real Madrid in the summer, has been building up his fitness and game time after joining Albion injured.
James Tilley, also on target against Fulham, is in the squad as well together with Niki Maenpaa.
The experienced Finnish international goalkeeper's only first team involvement so far was in two Capital One Cup ties in August, due to the outstanding form of David Stockdale.
Maenpaa could replace Stockdale in the FA Cup at Hull on Saturday.
Meanwhile, England under-21s keeper Christian Walton is back with Albion following the conclusion of his loan stint with home town club Plymouth Argyle.
Albion (probable squad): Maenpaa; Vose; Hunt, Barclay, Dallison, Barnett, Deen, Monakana, Collar, Molumby, Hutchinson, Harris, Akindayini, Harper, Tilley, Maguire-Drew.
