Alphonse Areola has made some incredible saves on numerous occasions to win West Ham points. He has been one of the Premier League’s top keepers without a doubt, yet his exploits appear to have gone unnoticed by the wider football community.
Regretfully, the goalkeeper had to be substituted at halftime due to a head injury he sustained during a clash with Kurt Zouma against Manchester United. Concerns were raised by supporters regarding his availability for the Hammers’ next matchup with Arsenal.
Fortunately, David Moyes has stated that it was only a preventative step. According to Moyes, “we were just making sure we weren’t doing the wrong thing.” “We just felt there was no point in risking him, but he is fine.”
West Ham will be delighted to hear this. Their quest for a fourth straight season of European football has been greatly aided by the Frenchman, though Fabianski is beginning to show his age.
It goes without saying that West Ham will face a difficult opponent this weekend, but this will give supporters a glimmer of optimism that they may surpass their London rivals’ treble.
