West Ham United defender Aaron Cresswell now very likely to miss Fulham and Arsenal games
West Ham defender Aaron Cresswell is reportedly 75 per cent likely to miss the game against Arsenal when the Premier League season resumes.
That’s according to injury expert Ben Dinnery, who claims that despite a knock, he is unlikely to play and that would mean that the friendly against Fulham will also come too soon for him.
This comes after Nayef Aguerd picked up an injury at the World Cup playing for Morocco and even he seems highly unlikely to be fit in time.
Double blow
Injuries just seem to be around the corner for West Ham and there’s little that David Moyes can do about it.
He pushed for Aguerd last summer as well and finally secured his services this time around but he’s barely featured for him.
He only made his debut in October and now again has picked up an injury which could see him miss a few more Premier League games.
Cresswell, on the other hand, has shared minutes with Emerson this season and it may be best to cash in on his services as soon as possible.
At 32, he’s not getting any younger while his valuation continues to plummet and injuries aren’t helping his cause in any way, shape or form.
Our understanding is that he’s penned an extension but if there is the option of selling him and buying a younger left-back, the club must take it.
