West Ham suffer major injury blow with £30m signing undergoing surgery after pre-season injury

West Ham United summer signing Nayef Aguerd is set to miss the start of the 2022/23 Premier League season after undergoing ankle surgery.

The Hammers spent £30million on the Moroccan international earlier this summer from Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais, but the 26-year-old is now expected to miss the start of the upcoming campaign after being forced off injured in just his second friendly appearance for Moyes’ side against Rangers.

As confirmed by the club, Aguerd underwent surgery following the injury sustained seven days ago, with the defender now set to continue his rehab at the club’s training ground at Rush Green.
