Lanzini crocked

The West Ham curse is strong in this one… Pellegrini must be wondering what he has let himself in for. All the forces of the Empire seem to be against us. First Pellegrini's attacked by gun-toting muggers and now Manuel Lanzini is out of the World Cup with what sounds like a serious knee injury. Lanzini has injured his anterior cruciate knee ligament in training, which will surely spell a long lay-off. The one player West Ham can't afford to lose. Let's hope it's not as bad as reports suggest. Poor old Manuel. Looks like the club will definitely have to sign another playmaker this summer.
