Ricardo Vaz Te is set for another spell on the sidelines after it was confirmed that he dislocated his shoulder during yesterday's goalless draw at Swansea.

The Portuguese forward was enjoying something of a renaissance having won his place in the first team back, despite recently stating his intentions to leave the Club due to limited opportunities.

However he now faces another extensive spell on the sidelines after sustaining this latest injury during yesterday's 0-0 draw at the Liberty Stadium.

Vaz Te was replaced on the half hour mark during yesterday's game after falling awkwardly whilst defending a corner. Following some brief treatment on the sidelines, he was led away before receiving the diagnosis.

Although the extent of the damage is yet to be confirmed, it is likely that Vaz Te will face several weeks on the sidelines. The forward has scored four goals in his nine appearances for West Ham so far this season.
