West Ham boss Graham Potter has been dealt yet another injury blow with playmaker Lucas Paqueta a doubt for the trip to Chelsea.
The Brazilian forward, who has scored twice since Potter’s arrival, picked up a groin problem at the end of the draw against Aston Villa.
Paqueta has been key for Potter during his short reign, utilised as a makeshift striker with a raft of injuries to Hammers attackers Jarrod Bowen, Niclas Fullkrug, Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville.
‘We’re just monitoring and looking after him,’ said Potter.
