Michail Antonio will be assessed to determine the extent of his hamstring problem later this morning after the forward was substituted after just 34 minutes in last night's 3-2 win at Wolves.

However there is better news regarding both Jesse Lingard and Tomas Soucek, both of whom required treatment in the second half of the match at Molineux.

Soucek, who required lengthy treatment for an ankle injury midway through the second period has not suffered any lasting adverse affects despite losing blood from the cut.

And Lingard, who was seen hobbling in added-on time at the end of the match, leading to fears that he too may have sustained a hamstring injury, will not require any further treatment after his injury was confirmed to be nothing more than cramp.

Antonio has suffered a succession of hamstring-related injuries during his time at West Ham, most recently as February when he was sidelined for a fortnight after suffering a minor tear during a goalless draw at Fulham.
