Jed Wallace ready to go extra mile for West Brom
Albion’s Jed Wallace was happy to play through the pain barrier to return and help his side back to winning ways.
Wallace injured his shoulder at Cardiff a couple of weeks ago and missed the defeats against Leicester and Sunderland.
But the captain was itching to return and made himself available with painkillers on the bench at Rotherham, where he emerged for a key role in smashing in a stunning late free-kick for 2-0.
“It was brilliant, I was desperate to get back in the squad and happy to contribute,” Wallace said. “I was chomping at the bit to get on and you saw the impact from all of the players.
“The lads are saying by shoulder strapping put me off balance and made me score the free-kick! Shocking really.
“The shoulder was alright to be fair, nothing a few paracetamol and a bit of old-school tape can’t fix. Right now with the adrenaline I could probably run through a brick wall and it’d be alright to be honest but it might be a bit sore in the morning!”
“I’m just happy to be back playing, I love playing for this club and love playing football, nights like tonight make it worth it.”
