Jed Wallace is set to come back for Albion’s game against Sunderland, having missed the last match due to illness. On the other hand, striker Josh Maja won’t be playing and will instead get playing time with the under-21s. Wallace’s return depends on how he fares in Friday’s training, while Maja’s absence is part of a plan to build up his fitness after recovering from injury. This decision aims to ensure Maja is fully ready to contribute to the first team in upcoming matches, including potential playoffs.
Manager Corberan explained that Maja will play with the under-21s to get essential game time that training alone can’t provide. This approach prioritizes Maja’s long-term readiness over immediate availability for the Sunderland game. Wallace’s availability hinges on his performance in training, with the coach optimistic about his return. The team’s goal is to secure a play-off spot, and decisions regarding other players like Conor Townsend, Alex Mowatt, and Grady Diangana will depend on tactical considerations.
