WHAT DIKE SAID

<p>West Brom teammate Jed Wallace posted a message, on behalf of the West Brom lockerroom, pledging support for their striker during this tough time. The statement expresses concern and love for their American teammate, with the Englishman describing WBA as a "family club" and a "tight-knit lockerroom."</p><p>Since moving to West Brom in January, 2022, Dike has only made 32 appearances for the Championship side as a result of injury. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/daryl-dike-usmnt-scoring-west-brom-injury-return-aldershot-town-fa-cup/blt74383637bc28d98a" target="_blank">He's scored eight goals across all competitions</a> during that span.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>For now, it's a period of processing and understanding for the forward, with rehabilitation and surgery to come. However, another year on the sideline is awful, awful news for the USMNT striker, who will now miss both the Copa America and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.</p>
