Hammers central defender Konstantinos Mavropanos is almost certain to miss the Manchester City game according to injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar.
He added: “Further, he did go through a medical as well upon his transfer so West Ham must feel comfortable with how he’s progressing and his medium and long-term prospects as well so he’ll probably miss the game [v Manchester City] or be eased back.
Mavropanos switched to the Hammers for a fee reported to be in the region of £20 million after pursuing Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.
With Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd starting the season well, it would have been unlikely to change the system to accommodate Mavropanos.
Andy Carroll, Jack Wilshire, will we ever learn? He looks a lovely fellow, but why did we sign him with a significant injury record and by all accounts still carrying an injury? What???!!!
