# Virals: Ex confirms Ryan Fredericks is out until after international break

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/09/27/west-ham-midfielder-manuel-lanzini-convinced-river-plate-return-will-happen/) full-back [Ryan Fredericks](https://readwestham.com/2020/12/30/west-ham-fans-laud-ryan-fredericks-as-he-makes-surprise-start/) is set to miss the next two matches before the international break.

The 28-year-old was forced off after setting up the only goal against Manchester United last week and will now miss [clashes](https://www.whufc.com/fixtures/first-team/fixtures-and-results) with Rapid Vienna and Brentford.

Fredericks had started a second game in quick succession having played [90 minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/leistungsdaten/spieler/140191) in the 2-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb.

According to ExWHUemployee on [The West Ham Way Podcast](https://www.patreon.com/posts/twhw-podcast-new-56641531) and [Pranav Shahaney](https://twitter.com/PrSchadenfreude) on Twitter, the Englishman will be absent until after the international break.

> West Ham face Everton then and that's when he's expected back.\
> \
> Will not be part of the matchday squads for the Rapid Wien or Brentford games.

Since arriving in east London from Fulham the former [England Under youth international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/nationalmannschaft/spieler/140191/verein_id/21340) has been hit hard by [injury and fitness](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/verletzungen/spieler/140191) issues.

During the 2019/20 season, Fredericks played [27 times in the Premier League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/140191/plus/0/saison/2019/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/379) and would’ve relished the opportunity to force his way past Vladimir Coufal once again.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Fredericks and Hammers fans alike will be pleased this injury doesn’t look too serious.

However, having made such a [bright start](https://www.sofascore.com/player/ryan-fredericks/106920) to the game at Old Trafford, there is no doubt it was a cruel blow to be forced off – as proven by the disappointment etched all over his face.

A more attacking-minded right-back to Coufal, the [ex-Fulham ace](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/140191) offers a perfect foil to the Czech star.

In the final year of a deal at the London Stadium, the [£2.25million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/marktwertverlauf/spieler/140191) ace will be desperate to get fit and prove there is a future as an Iron beyond this season.
