West Brom have received a significant injury boost regarding a key Baggies player, according to a fresh update from Express & Star journalist Lewis Cox.
West Brom under pressure to bounce back
Carlos Corberan’s side have suffered a sobering couple of matches in the Championship in recent days, having looked like a genuine front-runner to secure automatic promotion this time last week. Last weekend, West Brom lost 3-2 away to Sheffield Wednesday, coming back from 2-0 down at Hillsborough only to concede a winner soon after, and that was followed by a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.
While there is clearly no need for an overreaction, these two losses have acted as a genuine reality check for Corberan and his players, not to mention being a timely reminder of just how competitive and unpredictable the Championship can be throughout a season.
The key now for the Baggies is to bounce back on Saturday, with Millwall making the trip to the Hawthorns looking to cause an upset. The south London side are 16th in the league currently, having only won two of their opening eight matches in the competition this season, so victory for West Brom has to be expected.
This is a much-needed positive for West Brom after a taxing week, considering what an important squad figure Diangana is for Corberan. Granted, the 26-year-old is yet to start in the Championship this season, instead making five appearances from the substitutes’ bench, but he has been hailed as “ridiculous” by former teammate Kean Bryan, while Lee Hendrie’s past comments say a lot about the winger’s talent level.
