THE BIGGER PICTURE: Before joining West Brom, the 22-year-old's play at Barnsley and Orlando City made him a contender for the USMNT's 2022 World Cup squad. He's made just five senior appearances since the start of the calendar year, however, and fell way down Gregg Berhalter's pecking order as a result.
WHAT NEXT FOR DIKE? The striker still has plenty of time to put his thigh and hamstring problems behind him and reach his potential at West Brom. With his country desperate for a No.9, he will aim to re-enter the national team conversation soon.
