West Brom boss Carlos Corberan mulling over Josh Maja role
Josh Maja is in line to step up his Albion return next time out at Leicester as Carlos Corberan ponders a role for the luckless striker.
The Nigerian, 25, has endured an injury-hit debut campaign at The Hawthorns but is back to availability and set to play a role at automatic promotion-chasing Leicester on Saturday lunchtime.
Striker Maja marked his return from four months sidelined with a cameo against Rotherham last Wednesday but was left out of Saturday’s defeat to Sunderland in favour of an hour’s action for Richard Beale’s under-21s on Friday night.
Last summer’s free agent signing has started just once for Albion in which he was scythed down by Sunderland defender Dan Ballard in December, a second ankle injury from a challenge.
Albion’s striker availability has been hit again as Brandon Thomas-Asante will miss the King Power Stadium trip with a one-match ban for his red card against Sunderland on Saturday.
