Jack Wilshere is suffering further injury frustration at West Ham as he struggles to shake off a pelvic injury.

The 28-year-old has been absent since October and his plan was to be back in full training this month.

But while scans have shown no major problem, Wilshere still feels pain around the pelvic area and is anxious not to aggravate the problem with a premature return.

He is expected to be out for a further three to four weeks.

Wilshere is anxious to play again after suffering a series of injuries since he joined from Arsenal in 2018.

He revealed at the start of the season that he had spent most of last summer working on his fitness and has also employed a physiotherapist to come from Limerick to give private sessions.

He has 18 months left on his three-year contract and wants to prove he is worth his £100,000-a-week wage.

West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has reassumed his role as the club's transfer negotiator until a director of football is found to work with manager David Moyes.

The club are in no rush to replace Mario Husillos, who left with Manuel Pellegrini when the Chilean was sacked last month.
