Head of Medical and Sports Science Stijn Vandenbroucke with his latest update – in association with Spire Roding Hospital...
Hello everyone,
First of all I would like to welcome Sam Byram to West Ham United.
January is always a busy time for the Medical and Sports Science Departments at every club, but this was our first signing of the transfer window and any time you bring a new player into the Club it is exciting.
Sam underwent his medical at Spire Roding Hospital – the Club’s Official Private Hospital – where we screened him from top to bottom. He is a young athlete and is in good condition.
Injury-wise, we picked up a couple of minor knocks at Newcastle United last weekend but we hope to recover the players affected for the next game against Manchester City on Saturday.
Andy Carroll is making good progress after suffering a hamstring injury at Bournemouth last week and has started running. We hope to have him available for the manager again on schedule, four weeks after he suffered the initial injury, by the middle of February.
Manuel Lanzini is going well with his rehab after suffering a thigh injury against Liverpool just after Christmas. He is recovering well and we hope to have him back available in February.
Finally, Diafra Sakho was involved in a minor car accident this week. The Club doctor gave him a thorough check-up and we are pleased that he did not suffer any new injuries in this accident.
Diafra did not miss a day of his rehab from the thigh injury he suffered in the game against West Bromwich Albion and is on course to return in February.
