West Ham United face being without the midfielder Cheikhou Kouyaté for six weeks after he sustained a groin injury in the Premier League win against Liverpool last Saturday.
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason.
The powerful 24-year-old Senegal international was injured towards the end of his side’s impressive 3-1 home win but was forced to stay on the pitch because the manager, Sam Allardyce, had used all three of his substitutes.
West Ham’s co-owner David Gold tweeted: “Bad news. C.Kouyate will be out for 6 weeks. He will probably miss 5 games and might be available for Aston Villa at home 8 Nov.”

Kouyaté was signed from Anderlect in July and has impressed in his five league outings with dynamic performances from the centre of midfield.
Gold added: “In the past losing a player like C.Kouyate would be devastating but now we have quality back up. Cheikhoe get well soon.”
