It was back to work for Albion troops on Wednesday as the Ryan Mason era stepped up a notch as the head coach's squad checked in.

Not all of the returning players are pictured - and those away on international duty earlier this month, including Torbjorn Heggem, Isaac Price, Callum Styles and Tom Fellows, who is away with England under-21s, are yet to return.

Take a look below at the images as a range of Albion players resumed work.
