Fabianski off injured early at Sheff Utd

Lukasz Fabianski has suffered his second injury of the season

Lukasz Fabianski was substituted off with a hamstring injury in the early stages of West Ham’s clash against Sheffield United on Friday night.

With 13 minutes on the clock, Fabianski went down in distress clutching his hamstring after taking a goal kick, and was subsequently replaced by David Martin.

The Poland international has recently returned from a long-term hip injury and was playing his fourth game since his first start back on December 28.
