Boss Carlos Corberan stressed the importance of Josh Maja being in good physical condition to start games for Albion. The Nigerian striker scored his first goal for the club in a match against Leicester City, but it wasn’t enough to secure a point for the team.
Maja, who joined Albion in the summer as a free transfer from Bordeaux, struggled with fitness after arriving at The Hawthorns. He also suffered a significant ankle injury in September. However, he made a successful return to the pitch in a recent match against Ipswich, and after scoring against Leicester, he is now vying for a start in the upcoming game against his former club Sunderland.
Corberan expressed his confidence in Maja’s abilities and emphasized the importance of having him available to compete with the team. Maja, on the other hand, downplayed the significance of his first goal and instead highlighted his commitment to supporting the team with hard work and energy.
Overall, both Maja and Corberan are focused on contributing to the team’s success, whether through scoring goals or helping the team win in any way possible.
