Karlan Grant sends cryptic message after injury latest at West Brom

Ryan Mason has been without Karlan Grant for several weeks now at West Brom.

The 28-year-old started the opening two league fixtures for the Baggies, but has been rarely seen since then.

Grant’s injury at The Hawthorns was worse than initially expected, and he was expected to be on the sidelines for four to six weeks at the end of August.

The Albion have dropped down the table since, and with Mason unable to beat Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, fans will hope the English forward returns soon.

West Brom wait on Karlan Grant return from injury

Grant has arguably been a key player for the Baggies this season as they’ve struggled in the attacking third during his absence.

The Albion have played Jed Wallace on the right-wing and Mikey Johnston on the left in recent matches, but something seems to be missing at The Hawthorns.

With the English forward’s resurgence from last season continuing into the current campaign, his return from the sideline will undoubtedly be key for the Black Country outfit.

It looks like Mason won’t have to wait long to rely on Grant, with the attacker posting an hourglass with folded hands on his Instagram story on 21 September.

Ryan Mason needs to make attacking change at The Hawthorns

Aune Heggebo has been underwhelming at The Hawthorns despite showing glimpses of his talent this season.

The Norway international has missed several opportunities to score, and his consolation in the final minutes against Middlesbrough wasn’t enough to help the Baggies.

With the Albion now seventh in the league table after back-to-back defeats, something must change up front.

Nat Phillips and Chris Mepham’s partnership at West Brom could lead them back into the Premier League, but their attack is letting them down now.

It feels like the perfect time to start Josh Maja in place of Heggebo, with the Nigeria international mostly playing a bit-part role so far under Mason.

With Grant’s return also seemingly on the horizon, it will be interesting to see how the English manager sets up the Black Country outfit in the upcoming matches.
