West Ham United's Manuel Lanzini out for at least six weeks with injury

West Ham United have confirmed that Manuel Lanzini will be out of action for up to six weeks with a quadriceps injury.

The Argentine midfielder sustained the problem in training last week and will now have a period of recovery after undergoing a scan on Monday.

Lanzini, who is currently on a season-long loan from United Arab Emirates outfit Al-Jazira Club, has netted four goals and added one assist in 12 Premier League appearances this term.

The 22-year-old could miss as many as seven league fixtures, including matches against Swansea City, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Southampton.

West Ham take on Stoke City at Upton Park on Saturday.
