West Ham’s limited forward options have been dealt a fresh blow after Ricardo Vaz Te dislocated his shoulder in yesterday’s goalless draw with Swansea City.
The Portugese forward sustained the injury in the first half at the Liberty Stadium and is now set for a spell on the sidelines alongside other Hammers casualties Andy Carroll, Alou Diarra and James Collins.
Vaz Te’s injury means Carlton Cole could make his first start since re-signing for the club in tomorrow’s Capital One Cup trip to Burnley.
