West Ham United midfielder Dagný Brynjarsdóttir will miss the 2023/2024 campaign as she is pregnant.
The Hammers announced the news via a post on their official club website this afternoon.
Brynjarsdóttir is already a mother and she is expecting her second child in 2024. To protect both Brynjarsdóttir and her baby’s health, the player will not participate in any physical activity with The Hammers this season.
After news of Brynjarsdóttir’s pregnancy was announced, she said “From growing up supporting West Ham, to becoming the Club Captain and then bringing my son, Brynjar, into the West Ham family…I’m delighted to announce that there will be a new addition to the West Ham family next year!
“I think it’s amazing how much the club supports me with my son. Not every club would let their kid come to the training ground and onto the pitch. I’m very grateful that he gets to have all of these experiences with me and because of that, he is a big West Ham fan today and will be the rest of his life.
“When Brynjar comes to the training ground it just feels like extended family. Everyone is so nice and calm and it’s just one big family – and I’m excited to be adding to that family!”
Brynjarsdóttir will be missed during her absence. The player was one of West Ham United’s top performers last season.
