West Ham United’s official site has confirmed the news we brought readers nearly two days ago regarding the injuries to Manu Lanzini and Mark Noble.
They have declared on the official site that the Argentine midfielder heads into surgery on a fractured collarbone today whilst Nobes will have a scan on his ankle today (Mon).
Lanzini was seriously hurt when going down on his shoulder towards the end of the game against Burnley whilst the captain had left the action in the first half after failing to run off an ankle sprain.
Just how bad that is will be revealed by the scan later today.
However, the likelihood is on Manu that he will definitely be out for eight weeks which is the normal recovery time although match fitness and the rest will possibly take longer.
Meanwhile, Winston Reid is off on international duty with New Zealand after recovering from his 19 month long absence via a knee injury and Michail Antonio will continue training at Rush Green folowing a hamstring problem.
