• Defender damaged cruciate ligament against Liverpool
• Ogbonna will visit specialist to see whether surgery needed

Angelo Ogbonna could miss the rest of the season after sustaining a serious knee injury, handing West Ham a blow in their challenge to finish in the top four.

The Italian centre-back had to go off during the first half of West Ham’s 3-2 win over Liverpool on Sunday and a scan has revealed that the injury is worse than initially feared. Ogbonna, 33, has damaged an anterior cruciate ligament and he could be out for as long as nine months if he needs an operation.
