West Ham’s Diafra Sakho to undergo scan on injury

Sakho-PWest Ham’s Diafra Sakho will have a scan on Wednesday to discover how long he will be sidelined by the leg injury he suffered in the draw with West Brom.

The 25-year-old pulled up after taking a shot and was substituted in the 17th minute of the 1-1 draw at Upton Park.

The Senegal striker has scored five goals in 14 appearances for the Hammers this season.

West Ham are already without midfielder Dimitri Payet, who has been ruled out until February with an ankle injury.
Ecuadorian striker Enner Valencia is also sidelined by an ankle problem.

Speaking after Sunday’s game about Sakho’s injury, West Ham boss Slaven Bilic said: “That worried me more than the result. I don’t know if it’s too early before the scan but it looks like a muscle injury.

“It’s a big blow for us after Enner Valencia and Dimitri Payet.”
