Westham, who have had an outstanding season this year, have suffered a wave of injuries in the New Year. Recently recovered striker Michael Antonio has suffered another injury in training, and is reported to be out of action for 4 to 6 weeks. Westham are rumored to be targeting Montpellier's Eko Adams, who has been performing well in Ligue 1 this season.
Michalee Antonio has been recovering from injury since mid-November last year, and was expected to return to action in the last EFL Cup match against Bristol City, but he fell and injured himself in practice before the match, and the Daily Mail pointed out that the Jamaican international would have to be shaken up for another 4 to 6 weeks. In addition to the injuries of Charlene Pao-yun and Lucas Pacquita in the last match, which resulted in a shortage of manpower in Wessex, the loan of Danny Aggers to Wolverhampton Wanderers may be halted as well.
