Following on from Dimitri Payet's injury and that of Enner Valencia's, the last thing Hammers manager Slaven Billic needed was for the prognosis of Diafra Sakho's injury to be bad. Unfortunately it seems that Sakho has a severe muscle tear that will rule him out for much of the season if not all! There is no point in West Ham fans cursing their luck, the old curse is still around and many are of the belief that the move to the Olympic stadium cannot come soon enough, but putting aside the 'gipsy' curse aspect, are things really that bad?

West Ham United's forgotten young star finally gets a game! Leo Chambers has represented and indeed captained England at youth level, great things were expected from him, he made the bench a couple of times and just before he was about to make West Ham's starting line up while the club was still managed by Sunderland's Sam Allardyce, he received a quad injury that kept him out of the frame for an entire season. Further complications meant that Leo was unable to feature in any game at any level for what must have seemed a life time for the Brixton born player.
