West Bromwich Albion signed Chris Willock in the summer, but he is yet to play for them.
West Brom signed Willock from Benfica in the summer, but the attacker is yet to be handed a chance at the Hawthorns.
Bilic has opted to keep Willock in reserve, with West Brom fans wondering whether he will get an opportunity.
And Bilic has suggested that patience will be key for the 21-year-old.
“He’s a good player and he looks lively. But as I said, he has to wait for his chance at the moment. It’s like that,” Bilic said.
“On one hand they’re making my decisions difficult. They’re all trying, they’re all [the new signings] training good. We don’t have many injuries or whatever, but that’s the way it is.”
Whether Willock will have a chance at breaking into West Brom’s team tonight remains to be seen.
The Baggies are in action against Reading at the Hawthorns, as they look to make it two wins on the bounce.
Bilic’s men have started the season well, and are still unbeaten, so the Croatian boss may be loathed to make too many alterations to his team while their form is so strong.
