West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini backs Roberto with Lukasz Fabianski set for scan
West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini has backed deputy goalkeeper Roberto, with Lukasz Fabianski looking a potential stint on the sidelines.
The Polish stopper was forced off against Bournemouth on Saturday and it has transpired he is contending with a hip problem.
The 34-year-old was replaced between the sticks by summer signing Roberto, and Pellegrini has every faith in him to provide able cover for West Ham’s brilliant number one.
He said (): “Lukasz felt a problem in a muscle in his hip when he tried to kick the ball. We need to know more about it with a medical examination on Sunday.
“Goalkeeper is an important player, but I trust a lot in Roberto also. Roberto played well, he’s a very good goalkeeper and we will see what will happen with Lukasz’s injury and how many weeks he will be out.”
TBR’s view
Roberto came in for a lot of criticism after his showing against Oxford United and was unconvincing on Saturday.
Fans will trust Pellegrini’s judgement but he needs a good performance to convince the masses.
Fabianski will be a major miss for the Hammers, but the Spaniard now has the chance to prove himself.
