ExWHUemployee: West Ham defender Kurt Zouma may be out for the season
West Ham defender Kurt Zouma may reportedly be ruled out for the rest of the season.
Ahead of the Lyon Europa League clash, many were sweating over the fitness of the French defender.
However, ExWHUemployee has claimed that he will be out for at least four weeks and might not feature again this term.
He shared an update that read, “We have just been given an official update by someone within the club who has confirmed that Zouma will be out for a minimum of 4 weeks and could be out for the rest of the season, confirming the rumours we had heard earlier.
“This is a big blow with both our first team centre backs facing a race to play again this season and we also have Dawson, who has been playing through the pain many times this season.”
Crushing blow
The Hammers will have to continue their European expedition without their best defender and one of their key players.
His impact has bolstered this defence and David Moyes will be delighted with his performances this season.
He hoped that the former Chelsea defender could return to full fitness soon, but that seems unlikely.
It will be a miracle if we see Zouma again this season and the player himself will be gutted by this.
Hopefully, he does not take it too hard on himself and focuses on getting better as soon as possible.
