Luis Guilherme missed West Ham’s first game of the Premier League season against Sunderland due to an injury.
Guilherme joined West Ham for £25million last summer, but has failed to make an impact post his move from Palmeiras.
The Brazilian has made just 12 Premier League appearances for the Hammers and still needs to redeem himself at the London Stadium.

Discussing the 19-year-old’s setback, Dr Brar told West Ham Zone: “He broke his collarbone in training and this is a bad one that will keep him out for a bit.
“These injuries typically see players ruled out for up to six to eight weeks.
“I do not expect him to return before October and he will be lacking match sharpness then, so it may take longer for him to be back at 100 per cent.”

West Ham will miss Guilherme’s presence on the pitch
Guilherme faces a challenging period after breaking his collarbone.
Expected to be sidelined until October, his days will likely involve rest, medical evaluations and a structured rehabilitation program.
Initially, he’ll focus on pain management and immobilisation, followed by physiotherapy to regain strength and mobility.
The 19-year-old Brazilian will certainly be missed by the Hammers, given how well he performed in pre-season.
