Cardiff City keeper Ethan Horvath shows solidarity with West Brom striker Daryl Dike
Cardiff City keeper Ethan Horvath showed solidarity with West Brom striker Daryl Dike as his side lost 2-0 on Tuesday, 13 February.
Horvath, who’s also a United States international, came out in the number 12 jersey, which is worn by Dike, to show his support.
Dike recently sustained an Achilles injury that will rule him out for a number of months for the Baggies in yet another setback.
Express and Star journalist Lewis Cox took to Twitter to write: “Nice touch. Fellow US international.”
