ROBERTO Di Matteo has received bitter-sweet injury news ahead of today's trip to Plymouth (ko 3pm).
Marek Cech has been ruled out with the hamstring problem he picked up in Wednesday's 3-2 win at Blackpool.
But fellow left-back Joe Mattock has recovered from the illness that saw him miss the Bloomfield Road encounter - and is available for selection at Home Park.
Ishmael Miller will not be involved against the Pilgrims after damaging his ankle as a 65th-minute substitute against the Tangerines.
Di Matteo has moved to bolster his travelling squad by calling up Academy ace George Thorne, who made his Albion debut as a late substitute in November's 4-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday.
"Joe is fine now," said the Baggies boss.
"Unfortunately Ish and Marek got injured on Wednesday and they will be missing today.
"We're going to call-up George Thorne from the youth team so we have enough players on the bench."
