According to Dr Rajpal Brar, West Ham defender Jean-Clair Todibo would need a late fitness test before playing against Arsenal.

According to the injury expert, the extent of the Frenchman’s setback during the victory over Newcastle on November 25 is yet unknown.

He might need a late fitness test in order to play against Arsenal on November 30 at the London Stadium.

Brar, a sports scientist and physical therapy specialist, stated in an exclusive interview with West Ham Zone: “It’s unclear how severe the setback actually is. He picked up an injury on Monday.”

“As of right now, he might miss the next one while the club determines exactly what went wrong.”

“He might be available for the next one and require a late fitness test if it’s something minor and he can resume training soon.”

Jean-Clair Todibo has not enjoyed the best of starts at West Ham

The 24-year-old hasn’t had a particularly reliable start to life at the London Stadium.

Julen Lopetegui started him on the bench at first, but since then, he has been starting frequently. He has had some strong games as well as some where he has struggled.

He should be able to concentrate on getting as many minutes as he can and solidifying his place in the starting lineup if his injury is not too severe.
