Meanwhile Academy Director Terry Westley revealed that the doctor who performed the operation was equally happy with the result.
"It's been successful. The surgeon is very happy and now he needs to recover," he said. "He is bitterly disappointed as he will miss out on the chance to show David Moyes and Alan Irvine what he can do over the next few weeks.
"But I know that Nathan will return stronger when he is fit to play again around February. He will stay close to the group, and we will send him to games. He will watch a lot of football and focus on that side of his development during the time he’ll be off the pitch."
Operation couldn’t of went any better, let the hard work begin 💪🏽. Thanks for the messages ❗️.

Holland joined West Ham in January of this year on a free transfer from Everton and had been tipped to make the bench for a Premier League match due to his excellent recent form.
He is expected to be out of action for several weeks.
