West Brom’s Semi Ajayi Suffers Another Injury Setback

West Bromwich Albion defender, Semi Ajayi, has suffered yet another hamstring injury, leaving him devastated after only recently returning from a four-month spell on the sidelines.

Ajayi picked up the fresh injury during West Brom’s 2-0 victory over Oxford United last weekend, forcing him off in the 41st minute of the match.

Mowbray: "A Big Loss for the Team"

Speaking ahead of West Brom’s clash with Leeds United, manager Tony Mowbray admitted that Ajayi’s absence is a major setback.

“It’s disappointing for him, frustrating for him and for us. He’s got all the qualities to be a really talented player,” Mowbray said.
“He has real confidence in his mobility to defend, which allows us to play a higher line and keep the opposition away from our goal. He will be a loss.”

Despite the setback, Mowbray insists the team must move forward with the available players.

West Brom’s Defensive Dilemma

Ajayi, who has featured in 14 league games this season, has been a key player for the Baggies' backline. With his absence, Mowbray will need to shuffle his defense as West Brom push for promotion.
