Ever-present defender will miss crucial game with muscle tear. Thirty games this season, and it is just February. That’s a lot of football and no wonder it has resulted in, finally, an injury ruling out West Ham’s loaned-out centre back from action in next week’s crucial Real Sociedad v Barcelona fixture. Nayef Aguerd has been so successful in Spain that Sociedad have deployed their own-loan Hammer mercilessly, using him in 19 La Liga fixtures, 9 Europa League matches and 2 domestic ‘Copa del Ray’ cup games. One more even than Hammer’s ever present Max Kilman. But finally the miles –…
