West Ham have confirmed that Diafra Sakho will miss the EFL Cup quarter-final against Manchester United after being sidelined for six weeks with a thigh injury.
He was forced off in the second half of the earlier 1-1 Premier League draw at United on Sunday and was sent for tests in London.
The club have now announced that the 26-year-old, who scored inside two minutes at Old Trafford, is not likely to return until the new year.
