Diafra Sakho was upset after being dropped from West Ham starting eleven

West Ham striker Diafra Sakho faces talks with manager Slaven Bilic this week after being dropped from their squad to face Arsenal.

Sakho is understood to have been upset after finding out he would not be in the starting line-up for Saturday's London derby and made his feelings known at training on Friday before leaving.

Bilic claimed after Saturday's thrilling 3-3 draw, which saw Andy Carroll score a hat-trick, that Sakho had reported an injury.

He said: 'This is the team that I thought was the best team for today.' Pressed further, Bilic replied: 'He reported a minor injury.'

Sakho did little to defuse the issue having earlier posted a cryptic message on Snapchat stating: 'When I’m hated I don’t give a f***. I do everything to be more hated.'

Sakho may now face disciplinary action as West Ham attempt to focus their attention on their midweek FA Cup sixth round replay with Manchester United.

The 26-year-old Senegal international has been a key performer for West Ham since they signed him in 2014 for £3.5million from Metz.

He has scored six goals this season but will likely consider his future in the summer.
