West Ham have provided an update on defensive duo Angelo Ogbonna and Issa Diop ahead of Monday night’s clash with Sheffield United on the club’s official website and Twitter channel.
The Club has issued an update regarding defenders Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna.

Diop will likely be cleared to play after the French defender was forced off with concussion at half-time during the Hammers’ FA Cup defeat against Manchester United on Tuesday night. However, the prognosis for Ogbonna is bleaker as the experienced Italian underwent a scan on his ankle and will spend a period in a protective boot to aid his recovery.
The loss of Ogbonna will come as a major blow for David Moyes, who has called upon the 34-year-old more than any of his other centre-backs this season.
