Lucas Paqueta will miss West Ham’s next two games with an ankle injury as Graham Potter’s attacking crisis deepens.
The Brazilian rolled his ankle after a collision with team-mate Aaron Wan-Bissaka in training on Tuesday was removed from the session to be assessed by the medics.
Hammers boss Potter confirmed Paqueta would miss the trip to Arsenal on Saturday and likely their clash against Leicester next week.
‘It was a training incident really, just an innocuous one, he went over on his ankle and there was a little bit of a collision with Aaron Wan Bissaka,’ said Potter.
