West Ham United have confirmed Diafra Sakho could play again this season after straining his thigh in Saturday's draw with Stoke City, whilst Enner Valencia may face Manchester City this weekend.
The pair both hobbled out of the Hammers' 1-1 home draw with the Potters and there were fears Sakho would be ruled out of the remainder of the Premier League campaign.
However, a short statement on the club website confirmed the Senegalese could still feature before the end of the season.
Head of medical and sports science, Stijn Vandenbroucke, stated: "After undergoing a scan on Monday, Sakho has been diagnosed with a thigh strain and will now commence rehabilitation with a view to returning to action before the end of the season.
"Valencia sustained a foot injury when he was accidentally trodden on by a Stoke player. He also underwent a scan on Monday and will continue to be assessed ahead of Sunday’s trip to Manchester City."
Sakho has scored ten league goals in 20 starts for the Hammers since joining from Metz in the summer, with Valencia contributing four in 19 since his arrival from Pachuca.
