If West Ham United have been lucky with injuries this season, that luck appears to have run out.

Moyes missed golden chance to sign star after report claims Euro giants wanted to do deal

Only Arthur Masuaku had picked up a long-term injury for West Ham this season.

Michail Antonio was also out for a spell. But beyond that West Ham – usually dogged by injuries to key players most seasons – have been fortunate.

West Ham hit by potential injury crisis

Well the tide looks to have turned. And David Moyes could be without three centre-backs for the game against Sheffield United on Monday night.

Angelo Ogbonna went off with what looked like a serious ankle injury in the cup defeat at Man United last night.

His replacement Issa Diop was also substituted due to concussion. Players are usually required to rest for 10 days after a head injury as part of new protocols.

And Moyes has revealed Fabian Balbuena did not come on as Ogbonna’s replacement because he felt a hamstring strain in the warm-up (whufc.com).

Three centre-backs could miss Sheffield United game as well as Yarmolenko and Antonio

During the match Andriy Yarmolenko went off with a knee injury.

The winger once again proved he is not cut out for the lone striker role against top opposition.

But West Ham have been left with no other choice when Antonio is out.

West Ham’s only senior striker missed the game with ‘fatigue’.

Supporters believe he is injured, though, given the way he was walking when he left the pitch during the draw with Fulham.

If Antonio has suffered another injury it will likely keep him out for at least two to three weeks.

Huge concerns for Moyes as West Ham look to continue superb Premier League form

Even more worryingly for Moyes, young striker Mipo Odubeko looked well out of his depth during his first proper appearance.

So much so Moyes double subbed the 18-year-old less than an hour after he entered the field and despite West Ham needing a goal.

West Ham fans warned the club’s season could be derailed if a striker was not signed.

Well now the injuries are piling up in all the wrong places.

And all West Ham’s hard work this season could be in jeopardy.
