The Head of West Ham’s medical team has given a positive update on the conditions of the injured first teamers.
Stijn Vandenbroucke , in his latest report on www.whufc.com says: “Mauro Zarate is progressing well and working hard to return after suffering a hamstring injury in training, with a view to returning to the group before the end of the week.
“Alex Song is working hard – as seen on social media – and his ankle improving, with a view to him returning by the end of October.
Enner Valencia is rehab-ing with a good positive attitude and we hope to see him return by November, while finally Joey O’Brien is still recovering from a calf injury.
Good news, it means that they all return when other injuries/ niggles start to happen, this is the first time for a long time that we have a decent squad able to soak up player setbacks. Far too often we have turned a good season into a disaster due to a lack of players able to step in when needed, hopefully we may now be able to rest players when they are carrying a slight strain etc and rotate systems
Good to hear enner has a good positive attitude towards his injury considering the earlier comments about West Ham medical staff and not knowing if he needed an operation or not etc. let’s hope he doesn’t break down after his comeback and need an operation anyway as often seems to happen.
