Doctor: West Ham star may be unfit for 90 minutes against Southampton following injury.
West Ham’s Jean-Clair Todibo unlikely to be ready for full 90 minutes against Southampton, says Dr. Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert suggests that, despite playing 45 minutes against Brighton on December 21, the player may not be fully fit.
West Ham faces Southampton on Boxing Day, with both teams struggling in the lower half of the table.
Speaking to West Ham Zone, Brar, a Physical Therapy specialist and Sports Scientist, explained:
“The details surrounding the injury—hip, pelvic, groin—are vague, as is the description of it being a ‘little bit of a problem.’
Based on Lopetegui’s comments, it seems like a week-to-week issue.
He still doesn’t appear to be at 100 per cent, so while he managed half a game recently, completing 90 minutes might be a challenge.”
Jean-Clair Todibo’s time at West Ham has been inconsistent.
The French centre-back has shown flashes of quality but has also endured poor performances, leading to manager Julen Lopetegui’s apparent lack of trust in him.
Whether Todibo can find consistency, deliver strong performances, and establish himself as a key player for the Hammers remains to be seen.
