After Kudus, another former Hammer struck down with injury weeks after being sold

Just in case you hadn’t seen the headlines in West Ham-oriented publications, scarcely concealing the scadenfreude concerning our nearest rivals and their former Hammer, Tottenham’s Mohammed Kudus has been struck again by injury trouble that will now curtail his season.

His heart may well have Spurs on it but his thigh is more likely to be covered in ice as the midfielder failed to return from an quad injury which had kept him sidelined for months, before before further damaging his leg during recovery – according to the BBC –  who say he’ll now need surgery.

Sadly, injury trouble isn’t confined to Kudus. Former West Ham wonder kid Luis Guilherme has succumbed to a nasty ankle injury at new club Sporting, apparently, as the Hammers alumni continue to drop like flies towards the end of an arduous season.

Former West Ham wonderkid Luis Guilherme is now out injured

According to abola.pt, Guilherme hasn’t been seen in training this month after spraining his ankle but head coach Rui Borges is keeping everything crossed that Guilherme will return before the final day clash with Gil Vicente (West Ham’s Pablo’s former club) on May 16th.

Can’t help feeling sorry for the young player who always displayed an exemplary attitude (ahem, unlike Mohammed Kudus) but never seemed to have a fair chance at London Stadium and is now struggling with recovery in Portugal.

From the old Bobby Moore Upper to the Billy Bonds' stand these days - sometimes- have to admit I have not renewed my season ticket... I've been watching since '03 and a supporter since about 1970..
Favourite player - Dean Ashton: Still watch YouTube repeats of the Cup Final of 2006 hoping in vain that Shaka Hislop grows six inches and stops Steven Gerrard's injury time equaliser. Can tell I'm getting old knowing I saw both Mark Noble's debut and his last game at West Ham.
Pulling on a Claret and Blue replica shirt still makes me feel the same butterflies as when I was seven years old. Magic.
