West Ham goalkeeper Joseph Anang happy with injury recovery at Derby

West Ham goalkeeper Joseph Anang says his injury recovery is progressing well at Derby County.

Anang broke his arm just a week into his loan with the Rams.

“It was in my second session with Derby," Anang recalled to whufc.com. “We were doing a training game, and there was a through-ball. I went down to get the ball at someone's feet and my arm got kicked.

“To be honest, I didn't realise at the time how bad it was. It was just really sore. I thought it was just a really bad bruise but, after a scan, they told me it was broken."

Anang also said: “I've been back to West Ham to do some of my rehab, but I'm back up to Derby County this week. The rehab is going very well though. I've been injured for exactly 12 weeks now but my cast comes off at the end of the week. Then I'll be back in training and, hopefully after a couple of weeks of full training, I'll be fit and ready to get back to playing.

“It's been really good at Derby so far. Obviously, with the injury, it's been frustrating, but everyone at the club has been really supportive.

“They didn't just send me back to West Ham. They wanted to keep me there to make sure I was recovering properly and getting back to fitness. They've been really good with me."
