Why the return of defender could prove to be a huge boost for West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have been boosted by the news of defender Ahmed Hegazi’s return to fitness and he has revealed positive news as reported on their official website.

The Egyptian defender is back out on the grass with his Albion teammates and it is only a matter of time before he is donning those blue and white stripes once again.

At the end of last season it is no secret that Hegazi was struggling with an ankle injury but he delayed surgery so he could play in the promotion run in and also represent his country in the African Cup of Nations in the summer.

However with his strong character he has shortened his predicted recovery time with typical determination and footage of his return to training on West Brom’s social media pages have drew delight from both Baggies fans and fans of his native Egypt.

“I’m feeling all good,” he said. “I’m very happy to be back in training and the ankle is feeling fine. There is no date for a return to playing yet but we will see how I progress from here.”

“I have come back a little bit quicker than was expected which is good for me. The team is doing well and we just need to keep this momentum going.”

The 28-year-old has been outstanding for Albion in the past couple of seasons despite their relegation in May 2018 and has been of their best performers.

Despite his absence so far this season Kyle Bartley and Semi Ajayi have formed a very good partnership as a centre back pairing however with Ajayi’s relative inexperience in the side and although Bartley having improved, there is occasionally a mistake on the horizon so Hegazi’s return will provide a huge boost for West Brom.

The Egyptian has a wealth of experience at this level and international level and will add serious quality to the Baggies defence.
