Ferdi Kadioglu trained with the Albion squad on the eve of their Europa League second leg against Tromso.

But there was no Georginio Rutter among the 20 outfield players who worked in an open session at Lancing.

Kadioglu missed the 4-0 home win against Aston Villa on Sunday with what was reported to be a minor injury.
