Andre Ayew

West Ham’s record signing curse struck again with Ayew after the Ghanaian went down only minutes after his start against Chelsea, with the club announcing that he would be out for up to four months with a thigh injury.

It was a huge blow to Bilic’s plans and judging by the reaction from Ghana, it was a blow to them too:

The Ghanaian FA said they could heal the injury in two weeks with herbal methods. The club have decided not to take them up on such an offer, and he is still in East London. He is expected to be back for the December rush of fixtures. Just in time to go off to AFCON. Yay.

Sofiane Feghouli

The Algerian midfielder was a weird injury case. After a bright pre-season after his free transfer from Valencia there was a lot of hope. However he was not in the squad for the first Premier League game and no detail was given.

It’s only thanks to club ITK sources such as ExWhuEmployee that we had any idea what was going on. Feghouli has been suffering from Hamstring issues but is expected to be back for this weekends game. That is despite limping out of training yesterday:

Havard Nordtveit

Another minor injury, but one that causes it all to add up. Thankfully central midfield is an area we are not short of players in. Nordtveit picked up a foot injury in the last Europa match, and is unlikely to play this weekend.

With the amount of cover we have and the fact we will play a max of two defensive midfielders against Watford, I would be impressed if he even made the bench as there is no point in rushing him back.
