ExWHUEmployee reports Mavropanos scan and possible weeks out
Konstantinos Mavropanos could miss weeks after hurting his knee late in West Ham's defeat by Southampton. ExWHUEmployee reports, through The West Ham Way, that the defender had a scan after challenging the goalkeeper for the ball.
An unnamed medical source quoted by ExWHUEmployee expects an absence of weeks rather than months, but says the scan should establish the injury's extent. There is no confirmed result or return date in the report. For now, the prognosis is a source's expectation, not a club announcement.
