Bilic delivers triple injury whammy

West Ham’s injury problems simply get worse and worse with the manager Slaven bilic delivering a triple whammy ahead of perhaps the toughest match facing the team tomorrow.

Andy Carroll is again doubtful, Arthur Masuaku is about fifty fifty and Diafra Sakho has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Discussig the trio at his presser ahead of the Spurs match Bilic said: “A few days before the Stoke game, Arthur got a knock on his foot and he didn’t train for a few days – nothing broken but it’s very sore.

“He played against Stoke but he could only manage for 45 minutes, but he’s going to train [on Thursday] and then we’re going to decide for tomorrow night.

“Andy has trained individually for a couple of days now, he’s going to try today and then we will see.

“I hoped he was going to be OK for the Stoke game but he wasn’t so I don’t know. If you ask me in one hour [after training] then we will know, but not now, it is too early.”

“He did his hamstring, and was out for the operation and was out for four or five months, he came back and now he has got another problem. It’s really a problem.

Word in Sakho is again grim with Bilic revealing: “In the beginning of pre-season, Sakho got injured, came back in the game against Spurs away, he played a bit and in the next game we played Man United away,” continued Bilic.

“He’s not fit for tomorrow and again it’s his back and unfortunately he is out for the season. He’s been very unlucky.”
