Boa Morte crocked in China
FOOTBALL: West Ham forward Luis Boa Morte’s season is in doubt before it has even started after he suffered a suspected cruciate ligament injury.
Boa Morte faces at least six months out after being carried off during yesterday’s 1-0 friendly defeat to Tottenham at the Asia Trophy in China.
Ex-Hammer Jermain Defoe scored the winner for Spurs on 75 minutes to earn his side a place in tomorrow’s final against Hull City, after the Tigers beat hosts Beijing Guoan 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw.
