West Bromwich Albion: Morrison Rewards Tammer Bany's Fitness Comeback
West Bromwich Albion manager James Morrison explains his decision to reward attacker Tammer Bany for his excellent attitude and fitness comeback after a year-long injury struggle. Discover Bany's impact.
West Bromwich Albion manager James Morrison has expressed his admiration for attacker Tammer Bany, keen to reward the young player's exceptional attitude following his return to fitness. Bany, a January 2025 signing, has endured over a year of frustrating injury setbacks since his move to England, making his recent comeback a significant moment for the club.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder recently returned to full availability after approximately four months on the sidelines, recovering from thigh surgery. Despite his £3.3 million transfer from Randers in Denmark almost 15 months ago, Bany is yet to make a starting appearance for the Baggies, highlighting the extent of his fitness struggles.
Morrison revealed his decision to integrate Bany back into the squad sooner than anticipated, stating, "It was a risk to put him into the squad a bit earlier than I had expected but he was training really well." The manager emphasized Bany's strong desire to make an impression, a factor that clearly influenced his selection.
In the last ten days, Bany has made substitute cameos against Watford and Ipswich, contributing as Morrison's side secured their Championship safety. The West Brom boss specifically highlighted Bany's suitability for upcoming challenges, noting, "Preston are a man-marking team, and he’s someone who can wriggle out of one-v-one situations, I thought he’d be perfect for it."
Bany's return marks a crucial development for West Bromwich Albion, offering a fresh attacking option as the season progresses. His resilience and determination, acknowledged by James Morrison, suggest he could play an an increasingly vital role for the club, especially given his unique ability to navigate tight defensive situations.
