West Ham’s Summerville Ruled Out for Man City Visit With Calf Injury

The in-form winger’s absence removes West Ham’s primary attacking threat during a precarious fight for survival.

Overview

  • Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed Crysencio Summerville has a calf problem and will be assessed day by day, but he will not feature against Manchester City.
  • Summerville sustained the issue in the FA Cup tie with Brentford, completed the match, and Nuno said finishing the game was not a factor in the injury.
  • The 24-year-old has been central to West Ham’s improvement, with seven goals in his last 11 appearances across all competitions.
  • West Ham sit in 18th place and are a point from safety, increasing the impact of losing their most productive attacker ahead of a daunting run.
  • Former club scout Mick Brown told Football Insider he expects strong interest in Summerville and suggested a sale could be likely if relegation or financial pressures bite.
