West Ham United have struggled without Lukasz Fabianski in their starting line-up.
Fabianski’s injury has coincided with a terrible run of form for West Ham, with Roberto failing to impress.
There were hopes that the Polish stopper would have made progress with his recovery after the most recent international break.
However, Fabianski has suggested that Roberto will be starting in West Ham’s coming games, and has asked Hammers fans to support the back-up goalkeeper.
“In Roberto’s case, I think he is really trying his best to help the team,” Fabianski said. “Our position is a difficult one because you are always under the spotlight. I am sure he will be an important part of the team in the coming games.
“From the moment the referee blows the whistle until the last moment, as a fan, as a teammate, we should be right there for the team to support them for the 90 minutes and help in some way by creating an atmosphere that can raise your game. That is what I hope to see from the supporters in the coming games. They have an important part to play.”
Fabianski suggesting that Roberto is still set for another run of games in West Ham’s team has to be a worry at the London Stadium.
The Spaniard has quite literally punched the ball into his own net, and looks way off the quality required to play in the Premier League.
Roberto is under big pressure to improve, as West Ham have tumbled all the way down to 16th place in the Premier League table, as a result of their poor form.
The Hammers are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Tottenham Hotspur.
