da dobrowin： It is safe to say that West Ham United have struggled in Lukasz Fabianski’s absence, with the Poland international having not played a full game in the six-strong run of winless matches.
da 888： Roberto, his replacement, has become a major talking point for the Hammers during that time due to errors he has been making.
His calamitous attempt to gather a long ball against Newcastle United that led to their second goal underlined just how alarming his frailties are.
However, there has been an indication that West Ham may not need to do without Fabianski for too much longer, as he is set to return in mid to late December:
The club’s tweet has left fans anticipating the return of the Poland international, counting down the days until they see him back between the sticks.
Fabianski was last season’s Hammer of the Year, having made the most saves in the whole of the Premier League, though it can be argued that his absence that has truly illuminated just how important he is for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
A selection of Twitter reaction to the update, including posts from anticipating West Ham fans, can be seen below:
