United States international and West Bromwich Albion striker Daryl Dike will not be available for the USMNT’s upcoming game against Mexico on Wednesday. Dike will be ruled out of action for up to nine months after suffering an Achilles injury, West Brom announced on Tuesday.
Dike was stretchered off from West Brom’s 2-1 victory over Stoke City in the EFL Championship on Saturday, requiring an oxygen mask as he was escorted from the field of play.
“Albion striker Daryl Dike will be sidelined for six to nine months after suffering an Achilles tendon injury at Stoke City on Saturday,” the club’s statement read. “A scan has since confirmed surgery is required to repair a full rupture of the USA international’s right Achilles, after which he will begin his rehabilitation. Albion’s medical and sports science teams will provide Dike with all the support he requires to return to full fitness later this year.”
