Dario Vidosic has confirmed that new signings Nikita Parris and Michelle Agyemang could make their Albion debuts this weekend.

Albion kick-off their WSL campaign at home to Everton on Saturday, kick-off 12.30pm.

The head coach has been delighted with the way his deadline day signings have integrated into the squad and the extra work they’re doing to get up to speed.

“They've taken really well to the group, they're bubbly within the squad. They've brought their own personalities to the team.

“They're pushing for selection as well for the weekend. They've had a crash course in everything that we've done over the last six or so weeks. We’re just trying to give them as much information as possible.

“They stayed back yesterday [Wednesday]. We've done a little bit of video and talking about different things.

“We understand it'll take time but they've been tremendous since they've come in and I want them to get to know everything, be up to speed as quickly as possible."

While Dario expects Parris to be involved, he didn’t reveal whether or not she would start against her former club.

“I can't tell you that much!” He said. “But she will feature for sure for over the weekend.

“Everyone's training really well. We'll assess everything today [Thursday]. We've had our training session today. We've still got one more tomorrow and then we'll make the tough calls about who we believes the best 11 to take the field.

“But it's a team. We will need everyone, especially early on in the season. Everyone's been pushing really hard this week.”
