The Baggies are currently experiencing a positive streak, securing victories in their past three matches and accumulating 10 points from the last four games. Positioned at fifth in the Championship table, Albion is actively pursuing promotion to the Premier League this season. Unfortunately, injuries have adversely affected their offensive capabilities in recent weeks, notably with influential players such as John Swift being absent from the squad. The upcoming Southampton match marks the last fixture before the November international break, concluding the team’s calendar year.
What is the latest West Brom injury news?
Swift and Josh Maja are both back in light training, with the hope of rejoining the group after the international break, according to Corberan.
The West Brom manager also announced that Daryl Dike’s recovery from an Achilles injury is proceeding faster than planned, implying a December comeback.
Corberan, as reported by Birmingham Live, shared that the plan is for both players to recover during the international break. He anticipates that Maja will likely be ready for training in the first week, with Swift following in the second week of the break if their progress continues.
Regarding Dike, Corberan mentioned that the player is gradually improving his fitness conditions, and they are carefully managing his time on the pitch. If things continue as planned, Dike is expected to become a viable option in the squad towards the end of December.
West Brom’s recent victories over QPR, Coventry City, and Hull City have propelled them into a play-off position. However, a loss this weekend could see them drop out of the top six, depending on other match results. Currently fifth in the table, a win against Southampton could potentially move them ahead of Russell Martin’s side. After finishing ninth in the previous season, West Brom aims to secure a play-off spot and improve on their performance.
Corberan has received praise for his coaching work at the Hawthorns, especially in light of recent injury challenges. The team’s last defeat was on October 6 against local rivals Birmingham City. West Brom is set to face Southampton at St. Mary’s on Saturday in a 3 pm kick-off.
