Midfielder Nolberto Solano returns from suspension for Aston Villa in Sunday’s clash with West Brom at the Hawthorns.
Villa could also have striker Juan Pablo Angel on the bench after he successfully stepped up his comeback from summer knee surgery.
Peruvian international Solano missed the opening day win against Southampton while he completed a three-match picked up last season.
Solano will replace Lee Hendrie on the right wing. Hendrie misses the match after failing to recover from the shoulder injury he suffered against Southampton last weekend.
Team (from): Sorensen, De La Cruz, Delaney, Mellberg, Laursen, Samuel, Hendrie, Solano, McCann, Hitzlsperger, Berson, Barry, Cole, Vassell, Angel, Allback, L Moore, Drobny, Postma.
