West Ham United are set to be without Angelo Ogbonna for their curtain-closing fixture of the 2021/22 Premier League season, where a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion awaits.
David Moyes can still guide the Hammers to a sixth-place finish in the league this season should they win and Manchester United slip up at Crystal Palace, with the Scot suffering a setback in his quest to finish above one of his former employers.

It looks like Angelo Ogbonna’s season is over, with the Italian centre-back not looking likely to recover in time for one last appearance this season, meaning Moyes will have to make do without him at Brighton.
In his latest injury round-up show, expert and Sky Sports contributor Ben Dinnery had the following to say on Ogbonna’s chances: “There was lots of talk and suggestion over the last 4-6 weeks that he could be in contention again after an ACL rupture, but that isn’t going to be the case.”
TIF Thoughts on Angelo Ogbonna’s injury…
It’s a shame for the Italian that he looked set to feature again before the season ended, so the fact that isn’t the case is a blow to him and West Ham. He played every minute in the Premier League this term up until his injury, showing how crucial he is.

Saying that, having not played since early November, to throw him straight in could have been a huge risk anyway, so the fact the decision has been taken away from Moyes may be a blessing in disguise.
