West Ham United goalkeeper Joseph Anang could be closing in on making his long-awaited first-team debut for loan club Derby County after a nightmare start to life at Pride Park.
The 22-year-old Ghana-born stopper swapped east London for the east Midlands in August, joining the Rams on a season-long deal from West Ham following previous short-term stints with Stevenage and St Patrick’s Athletic.
However, shortly after his arrival in Derbyshire, Anang suffered a small arm fracture in one his first training sessions for the club and has since been out of action, returning to the club’s Rush Green training ground for part of his rehabilitation.
