After the Nigerian hobbled off in pain last night, West Brom manager Carlos Corberan spoke briefly about Josh Maja’s potential ankle injury.
Super Eagles attacker Josh Maja was substituted barely minutes after coming on in West Brom’s goalless draw against Bristol City in an EFL Championship game on Saturday, according to Soccernet.ng.
West Brom manager Carlos Coberan introduced the Nigerian in the 66th minute in an attempt to shift the game in his team’s favor, as they were desperate for a goal to take the lead.
However, he was helped off the pitch in the dying minutes of the game after clashing with Kal Naismith. Naismith’s challenge on Maja could have possibly led to a penalty which would have changed the outcome of the game, but instead, it was waved off by the referee and Maja was left injured.
After the game, Corberan mentioned that the team will assess the 24-year-old’s injury in the coming days, in what looked to be an ankle injury for the former Bordeaux man.
“Unfortunately we need to evaluate him[Maja] because he received a tackle in the box,” Corberan told Birmingham Mail.
Maja is teammates with fellow Nigerian, Semi Ajayi, and joined West Brom on a permanent deal in the summer after his contract with Ligue 2 side Bordeaux expired in June this year.
Because of this latest development, Maja is a serious doubt to travel with West Brom for their next game against Watford next Wednesday.
