West Ham supporters are missing Masuaku

Arthur Masuaku has not been seen in a West Ham United shirt since picking up a red card in the FA Cup against Wigan Athletic towards the end of January.

The spitting incident saw Masuaku receive a six-match suspension, and the 24-year-old has been on the sidelines ever since.

There is no question that Masuaku has his limitations as a player, but he had been in decent form – providing a strong outlet down the left for the Hammers.

A number of the West Ham supporters feel that the full-back’s absence has hurt the team, and they are already looking forward to his potential return.

Masuaku will again be suspended for this weekend’s Premier League clash against Burnley, but will be free to return against Southampton on March 31.

Back-to-back 4-1 defeats in the Premier League have left West Ham in trouble, but the return of Masuaku could give the team a timely boost as they battle to remain in the top flight of English football.
