Kurt Zouma: West Ham defender suffers hamstring tendon injury

West Ham United have 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.

Meanwhile, the club have also said Ben Johnson suffered a low-grade hamstring strain in the 3-2 derby victory.

The double blow adds to West Ham’s injury concerns in defence, with Angelo Ogbonna sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury in last month’s win over Liverpool.

Aaron Cresswell resumed light training last week after picking up a back injury, and the full-back is expected to return for their match at Burnley on Sunday.

“Everyone at West Ham United would like to wish both Kurt and Ben all the very best in their recovery,” a club statement said.
