West Bromwich Albion handed starts to free agents Marouane Chamakh and Momo Sissoko in their friendly meeting with Delhi Dynamos on Saturday afternoon.
The Baggies were left frustrated by a lack of big-name arrivals in the final days of the transfer window, leading to suggestions that Tony Pulis may step down from his position as manager.
Pulis could be about to add two more players to his squad, however, as former Arsenal and Crystal Palace striker Chamakh featured in the opening 25 minutes of the 1-0 win at The Hawthorns, before being withdrawn following a collision.
Ex-Mali international Sissoko has been on the lookout for a new club since ending his stint in the Far East with Shanghai Shenhua, meanwhile, and may now be given a Premier League lifeline by Albion.
Deadline-day signing Hal Robson-Kanu did not feature due to international commitments, but fellow new recruits Allan Nyom and Nacer Chadli were both given run-outs.
