West Ham United right-back Ryan Fredericks is set to miss six weeks of action after undergoing surgery due to a shoulder injury he sustained during last week’s Premier League clash against Manchester City.
The 27-year-old damaged ligaments in his right shoulder and has gone under the knife yesterday. Fredericks has played 20 league games this term, but will now miss crucial games for a West Ham side looking to win their battle against relegation.
While it’s a big blow for boss David Moyes, the Hammers have two backup options in Jeremy Ngakia and Pablo Zabaleta, and they should have no problem filling in for the Englishman.
