This is how the technical area looked for Albion yesterday as they picked up an away draw. Bjorn Hamberg took charge of the team at Leicester City. Head coach Graham Potter was ruled out after testing positive for Covid. His assistant Billy Reid, who was due to step in, himself tested positive on Saturday. Hamberg was assisted by Bruno while Potter supervised from home. Under-23s coach Andrew Crofts joined the analysis team at the King Power.
Bjorn Hamberg said: “Graham had a direct feed from the game to his house. He felt well enough to be a part of it and obviously it was really good for us. He was always in touch with a couple of the coaches here, not myself. Anything Graham wanted changed, anything Graham thought, I had that information in ten seconds. He wasn’t here but be played his part and you know what he’s like, he’s a top manager. I thought it worked well. We had a great support staff around so it worked smoothly, no problem.”
