The BBC's Gossip column is usually a decent barometer as to the state of play regarding players and their clubs, however it can also be a tapping up platform of the highest or lowest order, depending on your preference. In it's mission statement the Beeb underlines it's need for unbiased opinion NOT one that is corrupted by corporations or individuals.

West Ham majority shareholder David Sullivan has told his Claret & Hugh website about the club's intentions with regards to extending, or at least renewing, Angelo Ogbonna's contract which is due to expire in June of next year.

After having sustained an ACL injury that more likely than not will require surgery followed by a very lengthy rehab period, many thought that they had seen the Og in claret and clue for the very last time, however that is NOT the case.

Hammers stalwart defender Angelo Ogbonna has been ruled out for most, if not all of this season following a scan on his injury sustained during the epic 3-2 victory over Liverpool on Sunday. It has been confirmed that 'The Angel' has a dreaded ACL injury which requires surgery straight away.

Back in the day an ACL injury was the end of most players careers, fortunately medicine has moved on and the recovery rate is far better, however at the age of 33 the overall prognosis is NOT encouraging, we obviously wish Angelo a speedy recovery from a swift and successful operation.
