Dwight Gayle and Callum Robinson send Heartfelt message to West Brom man after development this week
Dwight Gayle and Callum Robinson reached out to Matt Phillips on Instagram following his post about his injury setback for West Brom. Phillips, a versatile winger, sustained a hamstring tendon injury during the 2-1 defeat to Leicester City on December 2, and the team’s manager, Carlos Corberan, indicated that he could be sidelined for approximately four months.
On December 8, Phillips shared on social media: “‘The comeback is far greater than the setback’” and expressed gratitude for the supportive messages, stating, “Thank you for your messages of support! I will be cheering the boys on with everything until I can get back out there with them!”
Former teammate Dwight Gayle responded with two fist bump emojis, and Callum Robinson, another ex-teammate, replied with encouraging words: “You got this brother,” accompanied by a love heart emoji and a fingers crossed emoji. The responses from various teammates, including Ahmed Hegazi, Conor Townsend, and Alex Palmer, highlight the camaraderie and support for Phillips during this challenging time.
Despite being 32 years old, Phillips has proven to be a dedicated professional and a consistent performer for West Brom this season as they aim for a playoff spot in the Championship. While the hamstring injury is undoubtedly an unfortunate setback, especially at his age, Phillips remains determined to recover quickly and contribute to the team’s promotion ambitions.
The collective hope is for Phillips to return to the pitch sooner rather than later, showcasing his resilience and commitment to the Albion cause.
