The midfielder, aged 21, limped off in Albion's 2-1 win over Preston at The Hawthorns on Saturday having felt discomfort in his hamstring and will not be available in time. A time-frame for his absence has not been revealed but tonight's game will come too soon.

Manager Ryan Mason (right) confirmed: "Toby's out after he had to come off in the Preston game. We're assessing a few others, but hopefully everyone else will be okay.

"It's just part of it, to be honest. You just need to try and understand all the information, how the players feel and the moment each individual is in, and the team are in.
