West Ham sweat on Arthur Masuaku’s fitness ahead of London derby

West Ham United will be hoping Arthur Masuaku shakes off his 'minor injury' before Saturday's Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Masuaku suffered a knock in the ankle region on his debut for DR Congo in their 2-1 loss against Zimbabwe on Saturday and was subsequently replaced in the 82nd minute.

Arthur Masuaku has picked up a very minor ankle injury on international duty. He's been withdrawn from the DR Congo squad for the AFCON qualifier against Zimbabwe and is on his way back to London.
