Alou Diarra is facing a challenging phase in his career after his recent transfer from Olympique de Marseille to West Ham. The French international midfielder, known for his role in the defensive midfield, is reportedly grappling with a calf injury. Since joining the Hammers, Diarra has made only two appearances, and this injury, which has already caused him to miss the last two matches against Sunderland and Wigan, is expected to keep him sidelined for several weeks.
Sam Allardyce, the manager of West Ham, holds high expectations for Diarra and has expressed confidence in the midfielder. However, the setback of this injury adds to the hurdles Diarra must overcome to make a meaningful impact with his new club.
Despite the current challenges, the season is still long for the Villepinte native, as the Premier League is just entering its seventh day. West Ham is scheduled to host Arsenal in the upcoming fixture, and the hope is that Diarra can recover and contribute to the team’s performance in the matches ahead.
