The attacker has been pivotal to their resurgence.
West Ham is set to miss their prolific attacker Crysencio Summerville in the upcoming clash against Manchester City due to a calf ailment.
Summerville has proven crucial to West Ham’s improved performance over recent weeks, with the Hammers now only a single point away from escaping the relegation zone.
Indeed, the Dutchman has netted seven times and contributed an assist since the start of 2026, having previously not registered a goal involvement since a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in August.
However, he will be unavailable for Saturday’s encounter against Pep Guardiola’s squad as West Ham strives to exit the bottom three, the ex-Leeds United player having sustained this injury during Monday’s FA Cup fifth-round tie with Brentford, a game the Hammers ultimately secured via a penalty shootout.
“Summerville is sidelined,” stated coach Nuno Espirito Santo at his press briefing before the match.
“His condition will be evaluated daily to monitor his progress, but he won’t be cleared to play in this fixture.”
“It’s a problem with his calf muscle. We’ll be monitoring him on a daily basis to see how he recuperates, aiming for steady improvement. His absence will be felt, given his significance to our team, and he is definitely out for this match.”
“That is unrelated,” Nuno responded when questioned about Summerville finishing the Brentford match despite having received medical attention for the ailment.
“Such incidents can occur instantaneously, at any point, but it is undeniable that his involvement proved greatly beneficial to the squad, and he performed admirably, just as he has consistently excelled over numerous matches. He has been immensely valuable to us.”
