“Ruptured” | Academy star Forbes out for season | OneFootball

Michael Forbes has been ruled out for the season with injury which has seen his loan move to Colchester United cancelled.

The West Ham Academy defender was expected to head to the Essex club for the remainder of the season to continue his development, however its been reported that the player has ruptured his hamstring.

Reporting on The West Ham Way, our club insider ExWHUEmployee has advised that Forbes will now undertake his rehabilitation back in east London, which is a huge blow for the player, as he was seeking senior first team football.

“We can confirm the sad news that Northern Irish academy defender Michael Forbes has ripped his hamstring and is now out for the season it is thought,” stated Ex.

“The centre-back was due to join Essex side Colchester United on loan for the remainder of the season. This move will now be cancelled (unless he recovers sooner than expected) unfortunately and he will continue his rehabilitation with West Ham.”
