Sakho out for up to eight weeks with thigh injury

Diafra Sakho could be out for as much as eight weeks due to a thigh injury, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has confirmed.

West Ham forward Diafra Sakho is set for at least four weeks on the sidelines with a thigh injury.

Sakho limped out of the 1-1 draw at home to West Brom last Sunday with what the London club described as a "significant injury to his left thigh."

And speaking in a media conference ahead of the away game against Manchester United this Saturday, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said: "Diafra Sakho, we are still waiting for the results of his scan, but it will definitely not be a couple of weeks - four to eight, maybe longer.
