In the English "Premier" League, the defender of the London team, currently in 19th place and fighting for survival, Matthew Upson, has ended his performance this season due to calf problems.

The 28-year-old footballer left the lower league "Championship" team "Birmingham" for a transfer fee of 6 million pounds during the January transfer window and moved to "West Ham," where his career in the new team has so far been tragic.

In this team, the defender has only played for 41 minutes in two matches against Birmingham's "Aston Villa" and London's "Tottenham" and both times left the field due to injury.

The head coach of "West Ham," Alan Curbishley, hoped that he would be a key figure in the fight for survival in the highest English league, so now the player's future in the "Hammers" team is still uncertain.

With just three rounds left until the end of the English "Premier" League championship, "West Ham" still has a chance to maintain their place in the tournament in the coming years, as they are only three points behind the 17th-placed team "Sheffield United."
