West Ham United's Arthur Masuaku out for "at least" six weeks

West Ham United full-back Arthur Masuaku has been ruled out for "at least" six weeks due to ligament damage.

The 22-year-old was stretchered off the pitch during the Hammers' 1-0 victory over Accrington Stanley in the third round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.

Manager Slaven Bilic confirmed the extent of the injury this morning, administering a further blow to the team given that West Ham's other full-back Aaron Cresswell is out for a lengthy spell.

He told reporters: "Masuaku has damaged his ligaments and we will know better in one week when he will be back, but it will be at least six weeks.

"It is not good news and both our left-backs have damaged their ligaments, but we still have a good team."

In the Premier League this season, the Hammers have lost four of their five games.
