# West Ham: Fans bemoan Angelo Ogbonna cruciate ligament injury

**A number of West Ham supporters are devastated after Angelo Ogbonna suffered cruciate ligament damage against Liverpool last weekend.**

The Hammers enjoyed a fantastic victory over the Reds on Sunday afternoon, winning [3-2](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59107406) at the London Stadium after a pulsating game.

The win took David Moyes’ side up to third in the Premier League, as their dreams of securing a top-four finish received another boost.

There has been one major negative from the match, however, with the club confirming on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1458008428559884291?s=20) on Tuesday that Ogbonna suffered cruciate ligament damage in the first half.

The centre-back tried to play on but was eventually replaced and he now faces a long spell on the sidelines. It is a cruel blow for the Italian, who has been such a key player so far this season, [starting all 11 league matches](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/23547/Show/Angelo-Ogbonna) to date.
