Nayef Aguerd hopes to get more game time before this year’s World Cup after making his West Ham United debut following three months out through injury.
The Moroccan had to wait a long time to make his first Hammers appearance after suffering an ankle injury shortly after his £30million summer arrival from Stade Rennais. Aguerd finally made his first competitive start for the Irons on Thursday night in their Europa Conference League win against Silkeborg on Thursday night.
“I’m very happy,” said the West Ham defender post-match. “I’ve waited three months because of the injury. Unfortunately, injuries are part of a player’s career but I’m very happy I got to play in front of the fans.”
