Albion take no risks with duo against Lazio [The Argus]

Albion are taking no risks with two star men as they tackle their dress rehearsal for Championship action.
Steve Sidwell and Kazenga LuaLua will not take part in today’s friendly against Lazio at the Amex.
Sidwell has a knee problem but boss Chris Hughton is confident he will be available for next Saturday’s opener at Derby, for which Dale Stephens is suspended.
