West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna is ruled out for the SEASON after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury after impressive start to the season and is set for surgery as David Moyes admits the news is 'really sad'

West Ham have been dealt a big blow after centre-back Angelo Ogbonna was ruled out for the remainder of the campaign after damaging his anterior cruciate ligaments in his knee.

The Italian had been one of the club's top performers this season and a huge reason for their impressive rise into the top four under David Moyes, but his manager admitted it was unlikely we would see him again in this campaign.

He had started all 11 games for the Hammers this term, and now leaves the team with just three senior centre-back options in Issa Diop, Kurt Zouma and Craig Dawson.
