Michail Antonio to miss just one West Ham match after suffering groin injury in Tottenham loss

West Ham are hopeful Michail Antonio’s groin injury will cause him to miss only one match.

Antonio limped off in the first half of Saturday’s 3-2 derby defeat by Spurs and is certain to sit out this weekend’s home match against Swansea.

The injury is not thought to be too serious, however, and Antonio, who had just returned from a lengthy spell out following a hamstring operation, should be fit to return after the October international break for the clash at Burnley.

West Ham badly missed Antonio’s pace and power against Tottenham. Andy Carroll replaced him and, soon after, the striker misplaced a pass which led to the first of Harry Kane’s two goals.

Manuel Lanzini is back in training after a knee injury and has a chance of making the bench for the Swansea match.
