'Dike is thriving,' says WBA medical director

West Bromwich Albion's director of medical Tony Strudwick says striker Daryl Dike is "thriving" in pre-season training after an injury-hit period with the club.

The US international has struggled for fitness since joining the side in January 2022 with a number of injuries, the latest an Achilles issue that saw him make only 10 Championship appearances for the side last season.

"Daryl has been a part of the training group from day one," Strudwick told BBC Radio WM.

"He had a good off-season where he did some high quality work in the USA and he came back in really good condition so I think it's a point where he's pretty much fully integrated.

"At the moment, he's thriving and he's doing well. We are super happy and even managed a couple of smiles this last week."

Strudwick has also confirmed that forward Josh Maja is "in a good space" as he returns from a calf injury and is beginning to be reintegrated into training.
