West Ham have been dealt a significant blow as defender Issa Diop has been dominated out for the rest of the season, handing David Moyes one thing of a defensive disaster forward of a massively necessary finish of the season.
The French defender picked up a knock within the dying levels of his aspect’s 1-1 draw with Burnley on the weekend, however performed on and is now doubtlessly paying the worth for it as scans counsel that he has suffered ligament injury which might rule him out for so long as eight weeks in keeping with the Guardian.
West Ham dealing with Europa League defensive disaster after Issa Diop dominated out https://t.co/3APBybfs7Z
— The Guardian (@guardian) April 19, 2022
Both first-choice central defenders Kurt Zouma and Angelo Ogbonna have already been dominated out for the rest of the marketing campaign, leaving the London aspect in need of choices within the centre of their backline, with Craig Dawson the one recognised centre-back within the squad.
And, with a two-legged semi-final in opposition to Eintracht Frankfurt to return throughout the following fortnight, it has left the Scottish boss with a significant choice headache.
Moyes’ three choices
As an outsider wanting in, it seems that Moyes and West Ham have three choices. Firstly, they may transfer the spectacular Ben Johnson from full-back to centre-back for the rest of the season.
Alternatively, they may drop Declan Rice again from central midfield to central defence, although this seems like a harmful transfer additional up the sector and is certain to be questioned by Hammers followers used to seeing the Englishman excel when patrolling the midfield.
Or, they may take a danger on youth, with U23 centre again Aji Alese ready within the wings and having impressed in his Europa League debut earlier within the season, he was not allowed out on mortgage in January.
It might be his time to make his title.
