West Brom are required to name their squad for the current campaign although they have only named 24 players, with most sides expected to name 25.
This leaves Albion with the potential option of making an additional signing if needed. Clubs will be able to sign free agents despite the summer transfer window closing on September 1.
Alternatively, Albion could promote one of their under-21 players if they wish. Players who were born before 2002 have to be registered, with loanees also requiring registration regardless of their age. However, they are free to play as many of their listed under-21s as the manager wishes.
