ExWHUemployee: Kurt Zouma ahead of schedule yet again after big West Ham United injury crisis
ExWHUemployee has shared that West Ham United defender Kurt Zouma is ahead of schedule yet again with his injury.
The Frenchman has been joined by Issa Diop on the injury table, leaving David Moyes with only one senior central defender in Craig Dawson.
Ex has reported that Zouma has resumed training this week, and will be able to feature in the coming weeks.
Writing on the West Ham Way Patreon page this week [22 April, 5:29 pm] Ex shared the good news coming out.
“There is good news however and we believe that Kurt Zouma is ahead of schedule in his injury recovery,” he wrote.
“The club have received the positive news that he could feature in coming weeks and that he will be able to resume training now (and has today). Whilst a match comeback date hasn’t been confirmed we believe it could come much sooner than first feared.
“This is the second time that Zouma has made a quicker recovery than normal. The club also hope that Diop and Ogbonna can do the same but at this point Zouma seems the closest.”
Brilliant news.
We are desperate for some good news on the defensive front, and it looks as though our wishes have been granted.
Zouma returning early to partner Dawson would be amazing, with that being our strongest pairing for most of this season.
With huge games such as Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-finals of the Europa League coming up, hopefully, the Frenchman can return and make a real difference.
Diop and Ogbonna are sidelined and could return before the end of the season, but we need results now, and Zouma is closing in on his return ahead of schedule.
Moyes will be cautious though given that it was his second big injury of the season, and that could see him wait for a couple of weeks.
Let’s hope that gap can be filled smartly without costing the team in other areas ahead of another massive month.
