Huge Blow: West Brom Main Star Suffered Waste Injury as they Host Swansea City
West Brom team news
Grady Diangana looked to be in some discomfort after a collision with a Stoke City player last weekend. The DR Congo international looked to have suffered a shoulder injury with no time scale for his return, but now things are looking rosier.
He trained on Friday but was still in some discomfort and so his status for the match is questionable. Diangana has not been called up to represent DR Congo next month so he will be afforded a rest and can recuperate at home.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Carlos Corberan said: “The injury doesn’t look as serious as expected, so it’s a positive it is not going to take months.
“But it is a very uncomfortable injury for Grady in terms of his arm mobility.
“He still didn’t train with us, he will try today and depending on the pain he has – and how it affects his co-ordination of running – we will make the decision, it is something I don’t know yet.
Daryl Dike could return to full training next month. He tore his Achilles in February and was expected to miss the remainder of the year but is now pushing towards a return.
“In terms of players to recover, it’s Dike,” Corberan said earlier this month.
He is making his process and during the next month he will be with the physical coaches. That is positive news.
‘It started two days ago but will take around one month before he can integrate with the group.”
Out: Daryl Dike. Doubt: Grady Diangana
