Daryl Dike spotted ahead of West Brom U21 clash amid Tony Mowbray update
West Brom under-21s are preparing for a clash against Newcastle with several first-team stars set to feature.
The Baggies have had to deal with various injuries so far this campaign but could be set to give some minutes out on Monday night (10 February).
The academy side are hosting the Magpies at Damson Park, the home of Solihull Moors with the hope of securing a 5-0 win against Liverpool last time out.
This clash will certainly be an interesting watch with the latest update emerging ahead of the clash in B91.

The Albion team bus has arrived at ARMCO Arena and there are some stars set to make an appearance for the academy side.
Lewis Cox has reported (10 February) that Daryl Dike was on the coach, which points towards him making an appearance that will be music to supporters’ ears.
The United States international is yet to make an appearance so far this season after picking up a long-term injury back in February 2024 against Ipswich Town.
The 24-year-old could also be set to be joined by Semi Ajayi and Gianluca Frabotta who may get some minutes in the Premier League 2.
This trio could be watched by Tony Mowbray who said “he hoped” to be in attendance in Solihull to review his returning first-team stars.
Daryl Dike must impress Tony Mowbray on West Brom U21 return
There is now high levels of attacking influence at The Hawthorns right now after a busy end to the winter transfer window.
Adam Armstrong came in from Southampton alongside Will Lankshear from Tottenham, who will both want regular minutes while on loan in B71.
The competition in the Black Country will only increase when Josh Maja returns from injury who will also be hopeful of reclaiming his role in the starting 11.
This could make life difficult for the returning Dike who hasn’t played a competitive match for 12 months and is heavily injury prone.
The American needs to show what qualities he can add to the Baggies’ first team against Newcastle U21s, especially if Mowbray is in attendance at the clash.
