West Ham United centre back Angelo Ogbonna sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during last weekend’s 3-2 Premier League win over Liverpool, the East London club said on Tuesday.

West Ham said in a statement that a scan on Monday revealed damage to Ogbonna’s right knee, adding that the Italy international had begun his recovery.

“After being substituted following a separate incident that led to him suffering a cut above his eye, Angelo felt some discomfort in his right knee so we scanned him to ascertain the extent of the injury,” the club’s head of medical Richard Collinge said.
