Andrea Orlandi on the comeback trail at Bournemouth
Andrea Orlandi admits he is playing catch-up after his knee operation But Albion’s playmaking midfielder is delighted to be back.
Orlandi enjoyed his first action in three months as he came off the bench in the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.
He is confident his injury woes are behind him but concedes he is not yet up to full speed.
Orlandi said: “I have to do extra work after training to get my fitness back.
“It is really hard. It has been a long time.
“The guys have been playing and they are at a different pace at the moment.
“I’m kind of chasing them but I’m nearly there.
“I just need to keep working hard and, if I get a chance to play, take advantage of it.”
