da stake casino: Manuel Pellegrini has given an update on West Ham United’s goalkeeper situation ahead of the Crystal Palace game, as reported by the club’s official website.
What did he say?
da doce: Both Lukasz Fabianski and David Martin are doubts for the Boxing Day clash at Selhurst Park due to hip injuries.
The former has missed the last 10 Premier League games, having come off just after half an hour into the 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.

Whereas Martin went down towards the end of the Hammers’ 1-0 victory against Southampton on the 14th, though he was able to finish the game.
Speaking about the pair’s chances of filling the goal on Thursday, Pellegrini said: “We will see in the next day what happens and which of them is able to play. I don’t think Lukasz or David are able to play two games in 48 hours because they have had some muscle problems.
“We will see tomorrow and Wednesday which one will be able to start the first game.
“The chances are all – both can be missing, both can be [available to be] playing. We will see in the next two days. It will be very important to have the medical decision, the players’ decision and of course my decision.”
Concerning sign
It will be seriously concerning for Pellegrini and his team if neither Martin or Fabianski are available to play the game, as it would mean Roberto going back between the sticks.
The Spaniard made that area of the pitch a problem position by conceding 15 goals in his seven Premier League games, which included many that were of his own making, especially when he punched the ball into the net against Burnley.
Pellegrini hinted at the fact that neither goalkeeper will be able to play both the Palace game and feature against Leicester City on Saturday.
Did he really play for us?! No West Ham fan has managed to name all of these obscure Irons signings….
Therefore, it could be worth having the two rotate during this time to avoid having another attempt from Roberto to protect the goal.
In other news, West Ham will not be rushed on a decision regarding their starlet.
