West Ham United boss David Moyes admits an injury set-back to right-back Ben Johnson led to the Hammers dipping back into the transfer market on deadline day.
Johnson, who featured regularly as a makeshift centre-back in the Hammers' opening games of the season due to injury issues in defence but is now on the treatment table himself after sustaining a hamstring injury during last Sunday’s 1-0 win over Aston Villa at Villa Park.
He is expected to be out of action for a few weeks, and with Aaron Cresswell potentially out injured with a groin issue, after not training on Friday, Moyes has concerns over his options at the back, especially with £30million centre-back Nayef Aguerd sidelined for much of the run in until the World Cup break with an ankle injury.
