Irvine uses friendly to step up fitness levels
ALBION hope to use a behind-closed-doors Under-21 friendly against Hull tomorrow to help increase the fitness levels of several of their summer signings.
The club have utilised the current break to good effect, with those not on international duty who missed out on a full pre-season programme undergoing double sessions daily in a bid to get up to speed, while Joleon Lescott has also been in the US undergoing a specific fitness routine.

Georgios Samaras and James Morrison could also possibly get game time, depending on their involvement for respective nations Greece and Scotland.
