Kieron Dyer has suffered a double fracture to his right leg, it has been confirmed.

West Ham confirmed the news this morning in a brief statement on whufc.com. However it is unknown when Dyer is expected to be back in action.

"The Club can today confirm that Kieron Dyer has suffered a double-fracture to his lower leg," read the statement.

"Kieron was stretchered off the pitch and rushed straight to hospital where it was confirmed he had fractured both the tibia and fibula of his right leg.

"It is too early to say at this stage how long the player will be out for as this will become clearer once the first stage of surgery is completed."

Meanwhile Alan Curbishley was left ruing the loss of another big money signing.

"We're devastated for him," he said. "I just can't put it into words.

"Obviously, we're delighted that we got through to the next stage of the competition but the game was irrelevant after Kieron's injury. I'm really down because he was looking sharp out there, playing in his favourite position in the middle of the park.

"Everyone in the dressing room's really flat but we've just got to get over this. After all, that's the reason why we've got a squad and now we've got to push on and look forward to Saturday's game at Reading."
