West Ham United has confirmed Kurt Zouma sustained a hamstring tendon injury during Saturday’s Premier League win over Chelsea.
The 27-year-old former Chelsea centre-back had a scan on Monday which revealed the damage, but West Ham did not put a timeframe on his return.
Zouma has already started his recovery programme at West Ham’s Rush Green training facilities.
A statement on the club’s website read: “West Ham can confirm that Kurt Zouma sustained a hamstring tendon injury during Saturday’s Premier League victory against Chelsea.
“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.”
It is a big blow for David Moyes, who lost another centre-back, Angelo Ogbonna, for the rest of the season after he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury last month. – Sky Sports
