Hammers hit by long term defender injury

Jose-Fonte-640758Jose Fonte has revealed that he will be out of Hammers action until next year!

The central defender has made it clear he won’t play again in 2017 and is set to miss “two or three months” of the current campaign.

The Portuguese defender hobbled off in the in the 76th minute of the game against Palace and  was replaced by Declan Rice.

Fonte admitted that he was unhappy to receive the diagnosis on his injury but called on his teammates to deliver a big win against Liverpool after making it clear he was a long term injury victim.

He explained the position in an Instagram post declaring: “Difficult to digest. But with my mind already focused on a quick recovery!!! I will be back stronger in 2 or 3 months.

“I look forward to the grind!!! Big win tomorrow would definitely help.”

  1. I am sick of these stupid clichés. If all these injured players are going to come back stronger, why don’t we injure more of them on a regular basis? Think how strong they will all be in future.

  2. What’s the injury – a hamstring or what?

  3. If I remember well he was clipped from behind by that disgusting individual called Cabaye. That psychopath should be kicked off the pitch on every match. The week before he committed a brutal aggression on Newcastle player (could have broken his leg), for no reason and all of a sudden in a no threat area of the pitch. He only got a yellow. Against us he should have been sent off for three yellows. Still had the guts to pretend Fonte was acting up. Well there you have it.

    On the other hand, this should open up the gate to the highway for Rice. If Burke returns, we have cover. Thin, but we have it.
