Momo Diame is reported to have claimed he will be back in action by the end of the year.

The in-form Hammers midfielder was stretchered off towards the end of yesterday's Premier League clash with Liverpool at the Boleyn after going down with what looked to be a serious hamstring injury.

However SkySports claimed this evening that the 25-year-old Senegalese international has told them that he expects to be back in action "within three weeks".

Sam Allardyce, speaking in his post-match press conference last night intimated that the player could be out of action for as long as three months when he suggested that the damage to Diame's hamstring was of the worst possible kind.

"It doesn't take a medical expert to know it's a serious hamstring tear," said the manager. "I'd expect it to be a grade three in medical terms and that could be anything up to eight, ten or 12 weeks again."

But his fears - and those of everyone associated with West Ham United - would appear to have been assuaged tonight.
