LONDON — Argentina midfielder Manuel Lanzini says he expects to be back in action for English club West Ham at the start of 2019 following a serious knee injury.
Lanzini says on Twitter that the operation on his right knee "went really well," adding "although I don’t want to set a date, I expect to be ready to play at the beginning of 2019."
The 25-year-old Lanzini ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee while training with Argentina the week before the World Cup.
