Carlos Corberan has confirmed that Daryl Dike’s return to action for West Brom could take another five to six weeks.
The forward has been out of action since February, having suffered an Achilles injury in their 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
The US international was just four games into his injury comeback before he had to be taken off the pitch on the back of a golf buggy.
Dike’s time at the Hawthorns has been wrought by fitness issues, making just 29 league appearances since joining the club in January 2022.
Corberan will be hoping he can make a full recovery and prove a useful part of his first team squad for the remainder of this campaign.
Corberan gives Dike recovery timeframe
Corberan has laid out the final stages of the recovery process that Dike is now going through, indicating that he is almost ready to return to action.
However, the Spaniard has suggested it could be at least a month before he makes an appearance for the team again.
“Talking about Dike, last week was a week where we have moved a step,” said Corberan, via Birmingham Live.
“Let’s say he has three steps to complete; the first is with the medical staff, the second he is working with physical coaches and during that step he needs to make some individual, specific drills according to his position, and then some drills with the team.
“Friday was the first day he has made some drills with the team.
