Fredericks ruled out until 2019

West Ham's injury woes continue after it was revealed that full back Ryan Fredericks will be unavailable until the New Year.

Manuel Pellegrini's already ridiculously-lengthy injury list grew this afternoon after the former Fulham defender was ruled out until January, at the earliest, with a shin injury.

The defender is understood to have picked up the knock during the 1-1 draw at Huddersfield earlier this month.

On the plus side for Manuel Pelegrini, Mark Noble should be available for selection once again after sitting out a three-match ban following his dismissal in the 1-1 draw at Leicester.

Also in contention for a place in the manager's 18-man squad is striker Andy Carroll, following an appearance in last week's behind-closed-doors friendly against Brentford.
