In his post-match press conference, the Hammers manager Slaven Bilic  was a little more optimistic and said he hopes the playmaker will not be absent for a further extended spell.

“They have told me a little bit and I will hear more tomorrow. It is not big. It is the same, it is not the hamstring or the muscle, it is some kind of abductor and the tendon. I hope it is going to be like they have said now, just a little bit”
