Yarmo’s sad record

Andriy Yarmolenko’s latest injury could easily keep the Ukraine international out until the end of the season adding to the appearance woes of his Hammers career.

Sadly, and this is not intended as a criticism of the player, he will – if he misses the rest of the campaign – have made just 49 Premier League appearances from a possible 114 since arriving at the club – many of those of course have been as a sub.

He was still recovering from injury when arriving from Borussia Dortmund as one of Pellegrini’s first signings and since then has missed a total of 45 games with the 2018/19 season being a washout with 32 games and 252 days on the side lines.

He’s obviously bound for the exit door in the summer assuming the Irons can find a buyer with the Hammers looking for some sort of fee given he is out of contract in the June of 2022.

However, the club will have a tough job on its hand with Felipe Anderson and Manu Lanzini more than possibly amongst those for whom they will be hoping to move on.
