Physical therapist and sports scientist Brar, who spoke exclusively to West Ham Zone, said: “There hasn’t been any clarification on his condition at all but with lower back issues, teams are very likely going to be systematic and careful especially early in the season.
Additionally, he underwent a physical before he transferred, so West Ham must be satisfied with his progress and medium- and long-term prospects. As a result, he will likely miss the game against Manchester City or be given more time to recover.

Mavropanos relocated to the London Stadium this summer, although he wasn’t West Ham’s top pick.
Harry Maguire, a defender for Manchester United, was sought after by the team, and David Moyes even acknowledged that an offer was in for the England international.
