West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Mowbray expects Luke Moore to bounce back strongly from the first red card of his professional career.

The on-loan striker was sent off in the first half of Saturday's 4-1 defeat by Leicester City and will now miss the next three games.

Moore will now be sidelined until the trip to Blackpool on April 8, but Mowbray expects him to return with all guns blazing.

"He will get on with it and spend a bit of time thinking," he told the club's official website.

"When he's back playing I'm sure he'll be giving everything for the cause to take us where we want to be.

"I'm sure it's a frustrating time for him, but he'll get on with his training.

"Sometimes it gives you an opportunity to work even harder in training when you know there is no game at the weekend.

"He probably came here with his match sharpness and fitness not where he wants it and he's got a period now where he can work on that."
