TERRIFYING NEWS: Lopetegui validate injury BLOW of the HAMMERS playmaker who will be sidelined for……
Even though it was probably the best night of their lives, any West Ham fan who watched the Conference League final will admit the team wasn’t the best on the night. However, one player stood out above everyone else: Emerson.
The Italian defender was on another level in Prague and used that performance as a springboard for an outstanding season last year.
While he was a key player for David Moyes, he is expected to be even more crucial under Julen Lopetegui’s system.
Unfortunately, Emerson picked up an injury against Fulham on Saturday, and Lopetegui provided an update: “He suffered a big knock. He’s in pain. Let’s see. We’ll know more tomorrow.”
Although it doesn’t seem like something to panic about, the wording of the statement hints it could be more serious. Hopefully, it’s just a knock, and he can deliver another strong performance against his former club Chelsea this weekend.
