West Bromwich Albion summer signing Oliver Burke had an injury scare last night while in action for the under-23s.
The winger started the PL2 match with Brighton and Hove Albion at The Hawthorns last night but lasted only 18 minutes.

His replacement Alex Bradley went onto score in a 5-1 win for the Baggies.
Burke had featured for the West Brom first team at the weekend as a substitute, providing a consolation assist in a 3-1 defeat to Brighton.
West Brom paid a £15 million fee to sign Burke from Red Bull Leipzig in the transfer window and will not want to lose him to injury after his early promise.
There was positive injury news concerning veteran Gareth MacAuley, who started the under-23 game and played 45 minutes, as did Argentine midfielder Claudio Yacob.
