Today's Daily Mirror claims that Manuel Lanzini could be out for 15 months and will miss the whole of next season. The Mirror states that his injury is more serious than anticipated, a "cruciate plus". This is terrible news for player and club. We've lost a £40million player (on today's prices where Sigurdsson costs £45 million) on international duty and he might never be the same again.
Lanzini has that ability to make things happen and after injury was just starting to find his form after scoring twice in the final game of the season. So West Ham desperately need a midfield creator. Could it be Joao Mario again? Or the injury-prone Jack Wilshere? Could Anderson fulfil the role? Meanwhile Manuel, the best of luck in recovering from such a shattering injury.
