Injured Sakho faces three- month absence


West Ham will likely be without striker Diafra Sakho
until March after the striker met with specialists on
Thursday.

West Ham striker Diafra Sakho is to undergo surgery on
his thigh injury on Saturday and is expected to miss around
three months of action.

Sakho limped out of last Sunday's 1-1 draw at home to West
Brom with the problem, before West Ham boss Slaven Bilic
initially suggested the forward would miss up to eight weeks.

However, the 25-year-old met with specialists this week and will
go under the knife at the weekend ahead of a likely return to
action in early March.

"The Senegal international will undergo surgery on Saturday,"
read a statement on the club's official website.

"The expected rehabilitation time from the operation is expected
to be approximately three months."

West Ham take on Manchester United at Old Trafford this
weekend looking to end a run of four Premier League games
without victory.
