Good news on Kouyate

Posted by Hugh5outhon1895 on July 24, 2014 in Whispers

KayHopes are rising inside the Hammers camp that the injury to Cheikhou Kouyate is not as bad as first feared. 

The £7 million midfielder was at the receiving end of a bad tackle in the clash against Wellington Phoenix at Eden Park yesterday and left the ground on crutches.

Sam Allardyce indicated immediately afterwards the player could be out for a long time.

But this morning ClaretandHugh has learned that the player is now moving around very well after a scan and that hopefully therefore, things may not be as bad as at first feared.
