West Ham's abysmal season has definitely gone a bit under the radar with all that focus on the demise of Manchester United and Spurs. There are just the three relegated teams below them in the PL and yet only two teams have lost less days from injury this season.
Clearly having a player like Antonio out is a loss but not as massive as say Rodri at City and it really doesn't explain why they should be so far behind a team such as Brighton who have lost in excess of 1,600 days as opposed to West ham's which is barely 600.
This is the full list (team with most days lost at the top and the club's respective position in the PL in brackets):
1. Brighton (9) 2. Brentford (11) * 3. Wolves (13) 4. Man Utd (14) 5. Chelsea (5) 6. Newcastle (3) 7. Spurs (16) 8. Ipswich (18) 9. Arsenal (2) 10. Everton (15) 11. Man City (4) 12. Bournemouth (10) 13. Southampton (20) 14. C. Palace (12) 15. Leicester (19) 16. Aston Villa (7) 17. Liverpool (1) 18. West Ham (17) 19. Fulham (8) 20. Nott'm Forest (6) *
