WEST HAM striker Zavon Hines looks set to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his knee.

The young forward has been missing through injury since December 5, but now looks set to endure an even longer, frustrating spell on the sidelines.

Hines told the club’s website: “I am just looking to work as hard as I can to get back.”

Boss Gianfranco Zola added: “It is a real pity for us to have lost Zavon.

“He is still young and hopefully his recovery will go well.”
