West Brom boss Tony Pulis says a preseason tour of China won't affect their annual fitness camp in Austria.

The Baggies are due to compete in the Premier League Asia Trophy this July alongside Liverpool, Leicester, and Chinese Super League team, Shanghai SIPG.

Baggies owner Guochuan Lai, who lives in Shanghai, is keen to bring Pulis and the team to his country. Albion's head coach is fine with that, as long as he gets to test his players in the Alps of Austria beforehand.

“One thing you can be absolutely certain on is we will go to Austria and we'll do those 10 days that we always do, the players are looking forward to that again," he smiled.

“Whatever Mr Lai wants to do in respect of China those days will not be missed, they can't be missed."
