Bilic gives update on injured West Ham stars Cresswell, Antonio

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic provided updates on injuries to Aaron Cresswell and Michail Antonio following the EFL Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester United.

Both players had to come off during the Hammers' 4-1 defeat to United, but Bilic is hoping that neither of them will be out for a significant period of time, with Cresswell a chance to feature this weekend against Arsenal.

He said: "Cresswell's injury doesn't look that bad.

"His groin felt very tight and hopefully it's just fatigue from (playing on) Sunday.

"With Antonio, hopefully it's the same but we don't know yet.

"We have a tough game on Saturday and we have a couple of players who came off injured, but we wanted to preserve players for then and Dimitri Payet also.

"It is unbelievable that when we get a couple of injuries like the ones we got today [after them all this season] and it's very tough for us now."
