West Ham United were met by depressing news after it was revealed that their key defender Angelo Ogbonna would be missing for the remnant of the season.

The center back received a knock that brought damage to the anterior ligament of his knee.

David Moyes shares sad news

Angelo Ogbonna has remained an integral part of the West-Ham team, producing scintillating displays over these past months. He has no doubt been instrumental in the team's rise to top four spot in the Premier League.

However, it was disheartening to hear manager David Moyes share the news on his injury update – Ogbonna may now be out for the rest of the season.

What Ogbonna's injury would mean for West Ham

From the beginning of the Premier League campaign, Ogbonna has started all 11 games for the hammer team. A statistics that shows how immensely important the player is.

His injury would mean that West-Ham are now left with only three senior center backs. Confirming the disheartening news, manager David Moyes highlighted that the Italian was getting prepared of a surgery.

Summary

Without a doubt, Angelo Ogbonna is an indispensable player at the West-Ham camp. His absence would be hugely felt in the dressing room.

That being said, it would be interesting to see how David Moyes rallies his team to perform, in the absence of such a huge figure.
