West Ham have been handed a big injury blow ahead of their game with Everton this weekend.
Diafra Sakho is set to miss Saturday’s game at Upton Park, after missing last week’s defeat to Watford.
Slaven Bilic confirmed on Thursday that Sakho has a ‘small tear’ in his thigh.
Sakho is out. It’s nothing major, he felt something after training last week and he has a small tear in his thigh.
West Ham face Tottenham after the international break, and that will be the target for a return for the striker, says Bilic.
He’s out on Saturday but the prognosis is that he will be fit for the game after the international break.
Amongst other things, Bilic also discussed his connection with Everton and the upcoming game.
Everton is on one hand yes a special game for me, on another hand not. It’s a big game against a good team. On the other hand it is special because I played there and enjoyed it there. I played for two clubs here, so it is special, yes.
After the blip against Watford, and it’s fair to call it just that at this stage, given West Ham’s good form, Bilic and his squad will be looking to bounce back in a tough game against Everton.
