The defender made his first Albion appearance of the season in the 2-0 win over Cardiff City.

Michal Karbownik has joined Greece Super League club Olympiacos on loan for the 2021/22 campaign, subject to international clearance.
 
Head coach Graham Potter said, “This is a good opportunity for Michal to play regular football, for one of the biggest teams in Greece.
 
“There is also the prospect of Europa League football, which at his age would be really good for his development.
 
“We will be monitoring his progress throughout the season and we wish him the best of luck for the rest of the campaign.”
 
The 20-year-old signed for Albion from Legia Warsaw in October 2020, going on to make two cup appearances for Graham Potter’s men.
 
Karbownik has represented Poland on three occasions, having made his senior debut the day after he signed for Albion.
