WEST HAM fans have been left gobsmacked after keeper Lukasz Fabianski suffered a horrid eye injury against Nottingham Forest.
The Hammers shot-stopper, 37, received a knee to the head from Felipe during his side’s clash at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The incident meant he had to be replaced by back-up keeper Alphonse Areola.
And fans were astonished by the damage to his face.
Reacting on social media, one person said: “Fabianski got a right shiner”.
While another replied: “Hope Fabianski is alright”.
