West Ham’s Andre Ayew out for 4 months with thigh injury
West Ham’s Andre Ayew faces a “significant
rehabilitation period” after injuring a thigh
during Monday’s 2-1 loss at Chelsea.

The 26-year-old played only 35 minutes of his
league debut for the east London club before he
had to be taken off.

The club confirmed a scan on Wednesday showed the
new signing from Swansea had “a significant
injury”.

They added it was too early to put a timeframe on
a potential return date for the Ghana forward.

Stijn Vandenbroucke, the head of West Ham’s
medical and sports science team, said it was
“imperative that we do not rush to conclusions
and we receive the correct diagnosis by consulting
top specialists”.

He added: “My first thought and priority is
with the player and his physical and mental
wellbeing.

“The best thing we can do as a club is to
support Andre through this difficult period.”
Ayew joined the Hammers from Swansea for £20.5m
last week.

He scored 12 league goals for the Swans last
season having signed for them in June 2015.
