Carlos Corberan confirms two West Brom injury question marks ahead of Leeds United clash
West Bromwich Albion have injury concerns ahead of Leeds United’s visit to The Hawthorns on Friday. Leeds travel to the West Midlands seeking to rebound from a dismal away defeat to Preston North End, which dropped them to fourth in the table and cost them a point against second-placed Ipswich Town.
Meanwhile, West Bromwich Albion are only six points behind Leeds in fifth place, and they recently overcame Norwich City. It will be a difficult test for Leeds, who have struggled to replicate their home success on the road this season.
Daryl Dike, who has been out for roughly eight months with an Achilles problem, could possibly return to West Brom. “Let’s see with the training – I will push my medical staff and they will push me back, 100 percent,” Baggies manager Carlos Corberan said after the Norwich win. Aside from Dike, West Brom have a new injury issue when defender Pipa was injured against Middlesbrough in the final game before Christmas. “Middlesbrough were better than us, there are no excuses, but when I put Pipa in for the last 10-15 minutes, the first tackle they put in injured him,” he said. “When I asked him to do things, he said it was impossible for him to move. It’s true.
