West Ham crock Maxwel Cornet dealt another big blow
Things seem to be going from bad to worse for the 26-year-old. It just seems like it’s one setback after another at the moment for him.

Hopefully the ex-Burnley ace gets over this virus as soon as possible. When he eventually does return to action, he’ll be like new signing for the Hammers!
