TONY Mowbray has hinted that Luke Moore may be allowed to leave Albion this summer.

The Baggies striker was completely left out of the travelling party for Saturday's trip to Portsmouth.

Mowbray, who claims that decision was tactical, admits that the ex-Villa man, who has scored just once in 14 months, may be one of the players

Albion will seek to cash-in during the summer.

Speaking about Moore's future, Mowbray told the Birmingham Mail: "I don’t know. That’s down to Luke and his advisors.

"What I would suggest is that Luke would have liked to have played more than he has.

"Everyone has their favourites – whether it be Luke, Roman, Jay – the bottom line is when we play one striker, I pick Marc-Antoine Fortuné

because I think his attributes help the team more than the others.

"That’s my prerogative to do that.

"Some people see the sense of it, some people won’t.

"Luke has got to work hard in training every day.

"When he gets an opportunity on the field he has got to try and maintain a place in the team.

"If people are not doing the job that is asked of them then they don’t play.
