Zouma suffers hamstring tendon injury

West Ham United has confirmed Kurt Zouma sustained a hamstring tendon injury during Saturday’s Premier League win over Chelsea.

The 27-year-old former Chelsea centre-back had a scan on Monday which revealed the damage, but West Ham did not put a timeframe on his return.

Zouma has already started his recovery programme at West Ham’s Rush Green training facilities.

A statement on the club’s website read: “West Ham can confirm that Kurt Zouma sustained a hamstring tendon injury during Saturday’s Premier League victory against Chelsea.

“A scan on Monday revealed the damage and the 27-year-old French international defender has already started his recovery programme at Rush Green under the supervision of the medical team.”

It is a big blow for David Moyes, who lost another centre-back, Angelo Ogbonna, for the rest of the season after he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury last month. – Sky Sports
