Albion have signed young Chelsea defender Shaun Cummings on a month’s loan to cover the injury to Gianni Zuiverloon.
The 20-year-old, pacy, 6ft. defender is no stranger to Roberto Di Matteo after the Italian took him to MK Dons for the duration of last season.
Cummings went on to make 35 appearances and played a big part in helping them reach the play-off semi finals.
"We needed to move quickly to sign cover for Gianni on a short-term basis and felt Shaun was the best option,” Di Matteo said.
“We know the player really well, and all of his attributes, after he spent the whole of last year with us.
"He also knows the way we play and what will be expected of him tactically.
"Shaun's a good prospect who is quick, composed on the ball and physically strong.”
The new number 26 will head straight into the squad to face Peterborough tomorrow (KO 19.45).
