Kurt Zouma injury not serious at West Ham

Presenter ExWHUemployee has revealed that West Ham United defender Kurt Zouma is expected to be fit when domestic football returns.

It feels as if the break for the World Cup came at just the right time for the Hammers amid some poor form in the Premier League which sees them sit just one point and two places above the bottom three.

What’s more, it may have come just at the right time for defender Zouma who came off early in the recent game against Leicester City, being forced off with an injury just 15 minutes into the match.

As a result, there has been concern over the West Ham man since, but it seems as though the winter break will allow him sufficient time to fully recover.

Speaking on The West Ham Way podcast, Ex said (13:41): “Kurt Zouma went off injured in the last game against Leicester.

“He’s expected to be fit for when the season resumes.”

TIF Thoughts on Kurt Zouma and West Ham…

After completing a transfer in the summer of 2021 – leaving Chelsea for a £29.8m fee and signing a four-year deal with the Hammers – Zouma has established himself as a regular under David Moyes.

For instance, up to this point in the domestic season, he has 14 of a possible 15 Premier League games for West Ham, proving that he is a vital part of his manager’s plans.

With that in mind, it will certainly come as good news to the club that this injury scare isn’t viewed as anything serious enough to keep Zouma from missing any action for the club. And so, unless he suffers a notable setback, fans can expect him to be involved when the World Cup ends and top-flight football returns in England.
