I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
Kouyate
On the day of the first leg of the Betway Cup in Germany and just two weeks away from the start of the Premier League against Manchester United at Old Trafford, we look at the Hammers injury situation as it stands.

Cheikhou Kouyate picked up a freak’ knee injury in Austria, he is back in rehab and not expected to play for West Ham in August. Bilic said: “It is a big shame that Cheikhou got injured in one of our early training sessions and it was out of nothing. He did his knee and he is going to miss the first few games of the season. It was a freak injury and it is a blow for us. He doesn’t need surgery and the injury is not a bad one, but he needs rehab now.”

Michail Antonio is back at rush green working on his recovery from hamstring surgery in May. He will miss the first game or two of the season but is expected back for West Ham’s first home game. Bilic says on Antonio “He [Antonio] is ahead of the plan.The plan is for him to miss the first game of the season.”

antonio2707abcAndy Carroll is back at Rush Green working on rehab. No return date as yet is known at this point by medical staff. Bilic says: “Andy is still not able to train with the team but he is working hard at Rush Green with the physios.I am frustrated he cannot play, now he is still injured and it is a big loss for us.”

Sofiane Feghouli has allegedly picked up an injury in training in Germany and is currently not available for selection. Speculation continues on his departure and many remain wary of his convenient injury.

Winston Reid will soon return to full training. He told WHUFC.com yesterday “Hopefully in the next week or so I should be back, which we were sort of aiming for,” he revealed. “Generally, the rehab has been really good and the surgery has fixed the problem, which is the most important thing. I’ll be able to go out there and play pain-free, which is a blessing.

LanziniAngelo Ogbonna pulled up in training in Germany earlier this week and sat the rest of the day out but the knock is not thought to be serious and he should be available for selection sources close to club tell us.

Edimilson Fernandes picked up a small knock and missed the friendly against Fulham but he is said to have recovered and is now available for selection.

Manuel Lanzini picked up a knock in training in Germany and is doubtful. He is undergoing an assessment and won’t feature in the two legged Betway cup which will be a big miss.

Diafra Sakho has only just resumed training with the first team in Germany. Two days ago he said “Good news. Diafra Sakho should start training with the first team squad in the next day or so. Good luck Diafra. dg” He is unlikely to play in the Betway Cup today and tomorrow.

Re: I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
Lewin is reaponsible for treatment rehab rather than stopping them getting injuries in the first place, isn't he?

If anyone's to 'blame' it's going to be the fitness and conditioning staff.

Re: I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
We have fitness and conditioning staff???

I thought our Fitness Coach was 70 years old?! I don't want a fitness coach that can't even get it up

What 'instant impact'?
Looks like the same problems and individuals concerned.

If he had anything to do with Kouyate getting injured, he should be given the freedom of Stratford.

Eerie has taken over the mantle from fordstar from being the most boring repetitive poster regarding a certain player (this time Kouyate instead of Noble) on here.

Get used to it.

A+ Trundle.

I might even start a thread on it one day.

Re: I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
Historically we have had more than our fair share of injuries over the years. Makes you wonder what they do in training........Rollerball anyone?

Re: I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
Arsenal have had untold injuries over the years. Not sure why people were expecting miracles from hi!

Re: I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
This is almost certainly no different to any other team at the moment. All players have little niggles and knocks and pick up things during training and pre-season games.

I think the main concerns are the injuries to Carroll and Kouyate. Especially Kouyate who I think was gunning to start with Obaing. But the good thing is we have Noble to replace. Most clubs would love to someone like Noble to come in.

And Carroll; again. But again the good thing is he is now longer our main striker and we have Hernie and Sakho in front of him.

I think we are looking in pretty good shape.

Re: I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
He hasn't been Arsenal physio for about 10 years.

He was their physio during their golden period in the early 2000's. I doubt they had many injuries then if they were winning all those trophies.

Re: I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
Tells you there is something wrong in training as they are picking up injuries there.

Trevor B 5:16 Fri Jul 28

Players don't pick up injuries in training??

Spandex Sydney - "I don't want a fitness coach that can't even get it up."

What do you imagine they get up to in training???

Vexed 7:26 Fri Jul 28
Re: I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
I'm not sure how any injury to a footballer that involves their legs can be described as a freak injury.

Starting the season with Noble and no Antonio is less than ideal. In fact it's a bit shit really. Same old west ham.

Eerie Descent 7:31 Fri Jul 28
Re: I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
Can you please describe to me what Kouyate offers as a central midfielder please, Alex Vexed?

There's literally no hope for you ED. Top yourself would be my advice.

Rollerball - hilarious! Just imagining Carroll on skates reminds me of Frank Spencer, then all the others trying to batter fuck out of each other, Noble going over the top of the wall, great stuff.

Re: I see Gary Lewin has made an instant impact..
Re Carroll: "Now he is still injured" haha. It's like saying he is again eternally broken. What a waste of fucking space he truly is.
