adminWest Ham United manager David Moyes has expressed concern over the injury status of Everton forgotten man, Nathan Patterson, ahead of the Hammers’ clash with Manchester United. Patterson, who has been on loan at West Ham since January, has been struggling with an ankle injury that has kept him sidelined for several weeks.
Moyes revealed that Patterson is still not fully fit and is facing a race against time to be available for the Manchester United match. The West Ham manager admitted that he is “a bit worried” about Patterson’s injury, which has been slow to heal. Moyes stated that Patterson has been working hard in training, but the ankle injury is still causing him discomfort.
Patterson’s injury has been a significant blow to West Ham’s squad, as the young full-back had been impressing on loan before his injury. The 21-year-old had been expected to provide competition for Vladimir Coufal at right-back, but his injury has limited his opportunities.
Moyes’ concerns over Patterson’s injury will be a worry for Everton fans, who had been hoping to see the young full-back return to Goodison Park and compete for a starting spot. Patterson’s loan spell at West Ham was seen as an opportunity for him to gain valuable experience and develop his skills, but his injury has put those plans on hold.
With West Ham facing a crucial match against Manchester United, Moyes will be hoping that Patterson can recover in time to play a part. However, the West Ham manager’s concerns over Patterson’s injury suggest that the young full-back’s return to action may still be some way off.
