West Ham United suffered a 3-1 defeat to Leicester City at King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
Jean-Clair Todibo was not part of Julen Lopetegui’s squad to face the Foxes, and now an update has emerged citing the reason for his absence.
According to L’Equipe, the West Ham player has suffered an injury setback, which forced him to miss the last league clash.
The report states the 24-year-old has sustained an adductor injury and this is a ‘big blow’ for the Hammers.
Todibo played the full 90 minutes in West Ham’s defeat to Arsenal last weekend and it’s not specified when he picked up this injury.
He’s set to spend time away from the pitch, and the duration is still to be determined. The French outlet adds the centre-back will undergo examinations to find out the ‘severity’ of the setback.
West Ham took the France international from OGC Nice on a loan deal with an obligation to buy if certain set conditions are met. Todibo has made 12 appearances for West Ham, which includes seven league starts.
