Taylor is yet to feature for Albion in the Championship this term, but Corberan insists he will be ready to fill in for Ajayi when called upon.

Corberan said: “He (Ajayi) has been an important player for Nigeria so he has possibilities.

“We cannot think in January as we are in September, but it’s one of the reasons why I want all the players ready – with the ideas and with the training.

“Caleb is here to be ready for the period where maybe Ajayi isn’t here, or even with him – he might be here because of injury, or bad performances.

“We have a good options in our squad right now, except for striker, but even then we can always find solutions in our team.”
