Benrahma injury update as West Ham winger seen leaving Carrow Road on crutches
West Ham winger Said Benrahma was seen leaving Carrow Road on crutches after starring in a 4-0 win over Norwich.
Benrahma was replaced in the 76th minute by Nikola Vlasic after picking up an ankle injury.
It has later been confirmed by West Ham correspondent Roshane Thomas that Benrahma left the stadium on crutches.
Rohane tweeted: “Antonio (hip) and Dawson (calf) should be fine but Benrahma walked past the mixed zone on crutches.
“He was so good today, would be a shame if he doesn’t play again this season.”
