West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini has given an update on the fitness of Lukasz Fabianski.

The veteran goalkeeper is suffering from a serious hip injury, which caused him to have an operation.

He will be out for the foreseeable future.

Pellegrini thinks that fans should not expect to see Fabianski in the team until the New Year, at the earliest.

He told reporters: "Lukasz had his surgery last Saturday and now he must be patient.

"He needs some time to recover, you cannot do it faster than you need and as we said at the beginning, probably he will return in the New Year."
