Kurt Zouma
West Ham United have suffered a major blow to their hopes of securing Champions League football this season after news emerged confirming a mid to long-term injury to Kurt Zouma.
The defender suffered hamstring tendon damage in the 3-2 win at home against Chelsea on Saturday before having to be replaced by Arthur Masuaku.
Zouma, 27, has been a revelation at the back for David Moyes’ side since his £30million move to the east Londoners in the summer.
But Moyes would undoubtedly have been left gutted when the centre-back limped off during the victory over his former club, where he won a Champions League title last season.

West Ham confirmed the injury in a statement on Tuesday morning, saying: “A scan on Monday revealed the damage and the 27-year-old French international defender has already started his recovery programme at Rush Green under the supervision of the medical team.”
While there is no time-scale on the injury, the Frenchman is expected to miss several months of action.
It comes less than a month after the Hammers’ other starting central defender, Angelo Ogbonna, suffered a devastating anterior cruciate ligament injury in a win over Liverpool.
That leaves Moyes with just two central defenders in Craig Dawson and Issa Diop available as he looks to keep up his side’s brilliant performances this season.
