Jeremy Sarmiento has yet to really show his class for West Brom this season but is now set for a return to fitness imminently.
Since arriving on loan during the summer from Brighton and Hove Albion, Jeremy Sarmiento hasn’t had the impact many expected.
The 21-year-old winger has missed the last five games due to an ankle injury that he sustained against Preston over a month ago.
Just one start since he joined the club against Millwall is where the issue began, but it only became apparent after the Preston game.
The Ecuadorian international will now be hoping that a return from injury can see him kick on to finally show what he’s capable of.
When will Sarmiento return for West Brom
According to Express and Star, West Brom expects the winger to return to contention against Hull City.
The report also quotes Carlos Corberan who has also pointed toward the loanee returning.
“He is progressing well and I think he is going to be ready to be part of the squad in this game,” Corberan said about a potential return against Hull.
Sarmiento will face competition from the likes of the incredibly technical Grady Diangana for playing time as both are incredibly dangerous attackers.
What can we expect?
As we know, Sarmiento has an eye for goal which we saw against Middlesbrough where he scored his only goal of the season.
Sarmiento hasn’t scored for Brighton, but does have two assists which should give Baggies fans excitement that he can link up and grab some assists.
An incredibly exciting young winger who is excellent on the ball could be just what Corberan needs as the playoff race is set to heat up.
