Daryl Dike: West Brom's injury-ravaged USA striker had 'Am I ever going to be same again?' doubts

Fit-again West Bromwich Albion striker Daryl Dike admits he was scared he might never be the same player after his lost year of injuries.

After coming off the bench to score the winner at Sunderland, his first goal in over a year, the United States international said he asked himself: "Am I ever going to be the same again?"

And Dike had only managed two late substitute appearances this season.

A hamstring injury 55 minutes into his first start for then boss Val Ismael, the man who signed him, was then followed by a knee tendon problem that ruled him out for the season in March.
