The Hammers has waited until now to decide whether to operate or not but after consultations with medical staff and Head of Sports Medicine Andy Rolls it was decided that Vaz Te should undergo key-hole surgery to fix the dislocation and to ensure there should be no further complications with the injury in the future.
Allardyce told the official site, “First and foremost Andy Rolls and his medical team have researched the best possible treatment and the quickest recovery, which was keyhole surgery.”
“There would have been a slightly quicker option to get him back but we would have been unsure on the stability of the shoulder and it could have been more susceptible to dislocate again.
“We think we’ve chosen the best option to strengthen the shoulder and get him back as quickly as we can.
