West Bromwich Albion striker Josh Maja is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a serious ankle injury, according to recent reports. The 24-year-old forward sustained the injury during a training session earlier this week, and medical assessments have confirmed that he will be out of action for at least four months.

This comes as a major setback for both Maja and West Brom, as the forward had been expected to play a pivotal role in the team’s attacking efforts this season. Since joining the Baggies, Maja has shown flashes of brilliance and his absence will certainly be felt in their upcoming fixtures.

The injury is believed to be severe enough to require surgery, followed by an extensive rehabilitation period. West Brom’s medical staff are hopeful for a full recovery, but the timeline could potentially extend if complications arise during his recovery.

With Maja out for the foreseeable future, West Brom will need to explore options within their squad to fill the void or potentially look into the January transfer window for reinforcements. Fans and teammates alike will be hoping for Maja’s speedy recovery as the club aims to maintain its competitiveness in the Championship.

Maja’s absence marks a difficult period for the Baggies, who are now left without one of their key attacking players.
