West Ham United boss Alan Curbishley admits he will return to the market to replace broken-leg victim Kieron Dyer.

Dyer suffered the injury in last night's Carling Cup tie at Bristol Rover and Curbs said: "At the moment I feel the luck is against us.

"I am sitting there with £20million worth of players out injured. It's disappointing but we have just got to get on with it and that's what the squad is for.

"We are treading on eggshells. It is a little bit delicate for us at the moment.

"I will have to assess it but that right-hand side - who would want to come and play for us with what has happened there?"
