During Sunday's match in the Premier League, West Ham United achieved a very impressive victory against the Liverpool team, but the match did not go without losses. Today, West Ham officially announced that center-back Angelo Ogbonna suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury. In the match against Liverpool, A. Ogbonna played a key role in the first goal, which was an own goal by Alisson Becker. Later in the match, the Italian player needed medical assistance, but after that, he managed to play a few more minutes. Finally, in the 22nd minute, A. Ogbonna was replaced by Craig Dawson. The experienced center-back suffered a similar injury as Virgil van Dijk had suffered a year ago in a match against Everton. "Angelo will have a meeting with another specialist this week and then we will see more clearly how long he will need to recover," said West Ham doctor Richard Collinge. We can confirm that Angelo Ogbonna sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Sunday's match against Liverpool. We're all with you on your road to recovery, @OgbonnaOfficial ⚒ - West Ham United (@WestHam) November 9, 2021.
