West Ham midfielder Edson Alvarez speaks to reporters about his goal after Saturday’s 3-1 win over Everton.
Edson Alvarez was excellent again for West Ham on Saturday against Everton, capping off a great performance with a very good goal.
Kladivar boss David Moyes would have been delighted with the Mexican international’s performance at Goodison Park – he passed the eye test and his stats were sensational.
Alvarez has been a big hit at the London Stadium since he swapped Ajax for West Ham in the 2023 summer transfer window.
Already firmly entrenched as an important member of Moyes’ starting eleven, his latest admission is rather worrying…
Edson Alvarez made a worrying admission after West Ham’s win over Everton
The 26-year-old spoke to the media after Saturday’s fine 3-1 win against the Toffees on Merseyside.
Alvarez admitted that he felt a cramp in his thigh while sprinting around the pitch just before he scored our third and final goal of the afternoon, according to WHUFC.com:
“It was the 95th minute and I saw Jarrod running with the ball, so I ran. I felt a little cramp in my thigh but I didn’t care, I just ran.”
Although he apparently did not suffer a real tear of the thigh muscle, it is still worrying that he felt a cramp in the muscle when sprinting just before the goal.
Edson Alvarez is key to West Ham United’s hopes of success, as he proved again with his performance against Everton two days ago.
If we lose him for a prolonged period, we simply will not be the same team without him. Thigh muscle cramps are usually signs of fatigue, which can lead to more serious injuries, which Aid Your Hamstring writes about extensively.
Let us hope that this does not happen, because I firmly believe that without the former Ajax player in our midfield we would be lost.
