Shamir Fenelon is likely to be back in action for Albion tomorrow - but nobody will be watching.

The striker recalled from his loan spell at Rochdale is expected to feature for the Under-21s at Newcastle United (1pm).

Fenelon was meant to be at Rochdale for the season but Albion recalled him last week due to lack of game time.

He could be loaned out again but is available in the intervening period for the development squad.

The match at Newcastle has been switched from the Northumberland FA's HQ at Whitley Park to the Magpies' Benton training ground, with no public admission.

Ryan Taylor, like Albion's Andrew Crofts twice a victim of serious knee damage, will play for Peter Beardsley's Newcastle side, who are third in the table and unbeaten.

Simon Ireland's Albion youngsters, disadvantaged so far on their rise to the Premier League by the regular unavailability of first team squad members due to fixture clashes and congestion, are bottom.
