Sakho refuses to give up on Stoke

sak with ballWest Ham medics are refusing to give up on Diafra Sakho being available for the tip to Stoke at the weekend.

The player has suffered no breaks or dislocation in his shoulder or collarbone area and although he is “very sore” has an outside chance of making the squad.

‘Realists’ in the camp see the match against Aston Villa as a more pragmatic target but the striker is determined to make it to the match in the Potteries if it’s humanly possible.

Sky Sports News has claimed during the day that he may well make the game but ClaretandHugh’s top source claims that may be over-egging the situation a little.

He said: “Now we know there are no breaks there’s a chance but I would put it at only around 30 per cent. The boy is desperate to play and he’d be on pain killers.

“As we said Villa is the realistic option but there’s an outside chance for him on Saturday dependent on how he reacts in training through the week.”

    Desperation on the club or Shams part.let him recover and keep his record going.the first corner we get then Shawcross will grab Sakho round the shoulder and hurt him.simple as that.let him try it on cole ,at least with him he’s not important with AC near to returning.This is where real management comes in so don’t hold your breathe.
