Lukasz Fabianski could miss West Ham United clash v Nottingham Forest
West Ham could be without goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski for their next Premier League game against Nottingham Forest on Sunday (14 August).
The veteran Hammers goalkeeper picked up an injury in the first half against Manchester City and was replaced by Alphonso Areola.
According to a report from Football London, Fabianski could still be on the sidelines when the Hammers face the Premier League newcomers at the City ground.
However, the new summer signing Maxwel Cornet will be available for selection. The Ivory Coast international wasn’t registered for the season opener against City.
Squad depth
David Moyes is still without summer signing Nayef Aguerd, while the likes of Angelo Ogbonna and Craig Dawson are also unavailable at the moment.
Kurt Zouma remains the only fit centre-back at the club.
Despite spending around £100million on new signings this summer, the Hammers may have just 17 senior players available for their next game.
After the 2-0 defeat against City, West Ham have sold Issa Diop to Fulham, while Nikola Vlasic has also left the club to join Torino on loan.
It leaves the Hammers short of options in various positions, and the injuries to some of the players suggest that once again that the club need to work on improving their squad depth.
As it stands, Moyes will have to rely on academy players to fill the bench against Forest.
The Hammers are reportedly working on bringing in a new defender, with Paris Saint-Germain defender Thilo Kehrer being one of their top targets.
