New West Bromwich Albion boss Valerien Ismael admits that he is resigned to losing star pair Sam Johnstone and Matheus Pereira following speculation about moves elsewhere.
At his first media briefing since taking charge, Ismael was tackled with questions about Brazilian playmaker Pereira and England stopper Johnstone.
"I have had open discussions with the players," he told BBC WM.
"My expectation is that the two players will leave the club," Ismael added.
"I am just focused on the players who are there. I say to the players 'you are in or you are out'.
"But if you are in, you have to be 100 per cent committed to the club.
