There will be a tribute to former Albion player Quevin Castro during today's game against Burnley, after his passing at the age of just 25. Castro died in hospital after collapsing during the first half of his new club Real Sport Clube's friendly in Lisbon on Saturday.

Castro joined West Brom in 2021 and made his debut for the club against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup. His second appearance for the club came against Swansea later the same season. He also won a medal at Albion, scoring a goal for the under-21s in their Premier League Cup final victory against Wolves in 2022.

Albion players will wear black armbands and the club will pay tribute to the midfielder with a period of applause in the 25th minute against Burnley.
