West Ham United can confirm that Tomas Soucek suffered a low grade injury last night and is likely to be out for approximately three weeks.

The Czech Republic international sustained a hip flexor injury during the narrow defeat at league leaders Liverpool.

Head of Medical Services Richard Collinge said: “Tomas over-extended his hip flexor muscle but the scan was positive and revealed only a low grade issue. We hope to have him back before the international break in March.”
