Quevin Castro dislocates shoulder in West Brom training
West Brom midfielder Quevin Castro has suffered his first injury blow since confirming his move to The Hawthorns.
The young talent has dislocated his shoulder in training, which forced him to miss the 4-0 win over Birmingham yesterday.
Valerien Ismael confirmed the news after the big victory but did share that it was popped straight back into position.
Given the instant reaction to the blow, Castro shouldn’t be out for too long and could travel to Bournemouth on Friday.
Speaking to Birmingham Live on Saturday, Ismael shared the injury update of the Championship opener.
“Quevin dislocated his shoulder yesterday in training, so it was out but it was clean,” he said.
Skipper.
Castro has been thrown into the first-team set-up since signing on in the past couple of weeks and will have learned heavily from Jake Livermore.
The skipper looks to have found a new lease of life under Ismael and will be critical this season to hand the freedom to Alex Mowatt alongside him.
Castro will offer great rotation with the likes of Romaine Sawyers, and will hopefully get the chance to shine in the Carabao Cup.
Thankfully, given it was a clean dislocation and it was popped straight back in, the Portuguese talent should be fine to resume training this week.
Ismael will want a full squad to choose from this week, and competition will be vitally important if we are to succeed and earn promotion.
Castro fits into that and will be looking to breakthrough immediately.
