West Ham United: David Moyes needs Gianluca Scamacca more than ever after crushing injury news
West Ham United expect forward Gianluca Scamacca to return to training this week after suffering from a knee injury since January, according to EXWHUEmployee.
Nevertheless, in true West Ham United fashion just as some good news is revealed in Scamacca, the Hammers were dealt another blow, with Claret and Hugh confirming Lucas Paqueta and Nayef Aguerd are out of action for weeks.
Now, with Ex sharing the positive update on Scamacca, the Italian forward must turn his season on its head as injuries continue to haunt David Moyes.
“The club hope that, having met with a specialist in Rome this week, that Gianluca Scamacca will be able to return to training this week,” WHUEmployee revealed on Patreon as quoted by Claret and Hugh. (14 February)
With an up turn in results and form, Scamacca is returning to action at the perfect time for the Irons to guide them out of the bottom half of the Premier League.
Time to step up.
Moyes and West Ham United have had no luck with injuries so far this season so the news of Scamacca’s imminent return is pleasant to hear.
However, Claret and Hugh reporting that Paqueta and Aguerd will be out for weeks rather than months are still far from helpful in the club’s battle against relegation.
This means there is now added impotence on Scamacca returning to action now and Moyes will need his star summer signing to hit the ground running immediately.
It’s in times like this when the club needs its big-money signings to step up to the plate and Scamacca has the chance to redeem his injury-ravaged season in doing so.
With the UEFA Europa Conference League gearing up to get started again there is no better time for the Italian to smash out a run of games and score plenty of goals in the process.
It’s time for Scamacca to start living up to that £35.5m price tag and he must start delivering on a consistent basis for the Hammers in the absence of fellow summer signing stars.
