After suffering another horrendous Achilles injury at the weekend, USMNT striker Daryl Dike was ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 season. After penning an emotional letter on social media Monday, West Brom opted to run out ahead of their Championship clash againsst Cardiff City wearing the American striker's kit. The English side also sorted a brilliant lockerroom display for Dike, declaring their support for him during this troubling time.

The club posted on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, that "We're all with you" while tagging the USMNT forward.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Dike is perhaps the most unlucky player in the USMNT pool at the moment, with injury after injury hampering his young career. He has, however, received an immense amount of support on social media and in-person, which he admitted in his letter has helped him over the past few days. Regardless, West Brom's display of solidarity and support Tuesday was brilliant to see, and for Dike, it's surely a lovely gesture to know all of his club are behind him at the moment.
