- Nayef AguerdMoroccan association football player
The 26-year-old centre-back, who joined West Ham for £30million in June, limped off in the first half of a 3-1 friendly defeat to Rangers with a large swelling on his ankle. Moyes confirmed x-rays at a local Glasgow hospital showed the Moroccan international had not suffered an ankle break, but admitted the club don't yet know the full extent of the problem. "We've already had Nayef x-rayed and there's no break in his ankle, which is good news," said Moyes. "It might be some ligaments, or he's twisted his ankle - it blew up immediately so we have to hope it's not a problem."
