Latest Injury (and Recovery!) Mews

From the Standard

"Michail Antonio has done some training this week and we’re hoping he might not be too far away from a return, while Jose Fonte is also back in training. He has been out for 12 weeks, however, so he may need a couple of practice matches before he is ready."

Obiovusly will have to wait untill after the scan but isn't looking good

If it is Medial damage thats minimum 3 weeks but you're more likely looking at 6 weeks

McHammer

He was standing watching at the end ratger than straight to hospital. Slightly encouraged by that!

steve

perhaps they should do a head exam on him ,why on earth would he want to stand and watch what ever we were doing out there .words like sorry boss think I should stay in the dressing room would have been my getout

MrsGrey

Obiang didn't need to go to hospital, apparently.

According to that (scroll down for our injury list near the bottom)

Noble, Reid, Antonio and Ayew are due back from injury 'late January'.

IronHerb

Hope that's the 30th and not the 31st.

Yeoldhammer

So

Carroll / Arnie / Lanzini / Obiang - all out for a while

Kouyate / Noble / Reid / Antonio / Ayew - Should all be back soon

Fernandes / Fonte - Anyone know ?

MrsGrey

In the training pic yesterday, Fonte + Antonio were with the other players 'running'.

IronHerb

Fonte, Antonio, Noble, Kouyate and Rice are in tonights squad.

Yeoldhammer

has there been an update on Fernandes I know he was suppose to be out for a while but I thought Jan / Feb was his expected return date ? ;hmm

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Ex reporting that the full extent of obinags onjury should be known tomorrow

'Apparantly' the club fear he may be out fir the season

McHammer

Medial rather than cruciate for Obiang. So good news.

Lukerz

Whufc _bulletin says there is good news regarding Lanzini as he is now expected back earlier than was first thought. Could make the Liverpool game on the 24th. Arnie is also back running in training, and is targeting the same game. There is an international break to this month so two weeks without a game.

MrsGrey

Lukerz ;ok That info about Arnie running was in his interview a few days ago. (direct quote)

Macca85

Excellent news

Lukerz

Sky reporting that Obiang is out for the rest of the season.

Macca85

A miss however his form this year has been really poor, I thought last season we had found a proper midfielder in him

It's ok we made provision to cover for this happening in the last transfer window. ;whistle

Hammerex

Any likelihood that Antonio will be back in the near future. ?

thornburyiron

He was back on as a sub Saturday.

IronHerb

According to Ex Arnie should be fit for Saturday after training all week.

steve

Vorselaarhammer

West Ham are hopeful that Andy Carroll could make a return for the final two games of the season.

Although, tbf, it is a very, very thin 'report'.

IronHerb

It comes from a dg tweet I guess.
