West Brom injury news as Jayson Molumby could now be out for three months
Jayson Molumby could now face up to three months out of action in a fresh injury blow for West Brom, according to Lewis Cox.
The Express & Star journalist shared on his Twitter account (20 January) that the Baggies midfielder will now undergo surgery on his foot issue and could miss at least three weeks out of action.
The Republic of Ireland international hasn’t featured since the Baggies’ 1-0 defeat at the hands of Swansea City but was expected to return against Norwich on Saturday (20 January) having missed the wins over Aldershot Town and Blackburn Rovers, however, he was absent again for the 2-0 defeat at Carrow Road.
And Cox taking to his Twitter posted: “Insult to injury…sorry. Jayson Molumby to miss at least three months with surgery required on foot issue.”
Wow
While Molumby hasn’t been a regular starter for West Brom this season, the 24-year-old has appeared to have begun to find his feet in the Baggies’ midfield over the festive period.
Unfortunately, it looks as though he won’t be able to build upon those performances in the next few months, and things could be even more worse after Okay Yokuslu came off with a knock against Norwich on Saturday.
It now leaves Corberan desperately short at the heart of defensive midfield once again with Nathaniel Chalobah and Alex Mowatt his only options should Yokuslu now be ruled out too.
This is a major blow for Molumby who had been aiming to prove himself to Corberan given his limited minutes at The Hawthorns but now those aspirations have disintegrated with yet another blow for West Brom.
It’s like every week, there’s a new injury worry at the club and that has continued today. Wow.
