Wigan Athletic win was for Chey Dunkley, admits Sam Morsy

Morsy grabbed the only goal at the Hawthorns to give the visitors a third win inside a week, which sees them climb three places to sixth-bottom - three points clear of the drop-zone.

The midweek triumph at Reading was soured by the loss of Dunkley to a broken leg, which will rule him out until next season.

Both Morsy and Dunkley hail from Wolverhampton - ironically West Brom's biggest rivals - and the whole squad warmed up in t-shirts bearing the defender's name and No.22.

And the Latics captain's first thought after the game was for his stricken mate.

“Chey is a massive part of the group,” Morsy said.

“He is one of our top goalscorers this season and he has been brilliant over the last few years.

“It is really unfortunate; but he is with us on this journey, though, and it was nice to show the support with the t-shirts before the game.

“We have to use it as motivation. He is a big part of the squad, not just as a player but on a personal level too.

"He is a great friend of mine, a really popular member of the squad but these things happen.

"It is really, really sad, albeit a lot better than first expected.

"And he will be pushing the standards in his recovery and will inspire the rest of the group to keep working hard.”
