West Ham's Fredericks ruled out till January

According to 'Sky Sports', the right back has suffered a knock to his left fibular, and has already begun rehab with a view to returning in early 2019. 

Fredericks joined the 'Hammers' from Fulham over the summer on a free transfer, and has gone on to make six appearances so far, scoring one goal. 

While not first choice, the injury leaves West Ham extremely light at the right back position, with Pablo Zabaleta the only recognised and fit player in the position. 

Manuel Lanzini, Andriy Yarmolenko, Winston Reid and Carlos Sanchez are also stuck on the sidelines, but Mark Noble will soon return to the pitch, helping to end West Ham's mini injury crisis.
