Michail Antonio is facing up to six weeks on the sidelines, with that setback and the potential injury to Jarrod Bowen having forced West Ham to press pause on Danny Ings’ potential loan move to Wolves.
Antonio was in line to feature against Bristol City in the FA Cup’s third round on Sunday after overcoming medial knee ligament damage.
But the 33-year-old forward suffered a setback when he slipped in training on Friday.
It is understood an assessment has shown he now faces four to six weeks out, having not appeared for the Hammers since mid-November.
