West Ham's Arnautovic cleared of broken thumb

West Ham United's Marko Arnautovic has been cleared of a broken thumb, scans have revealed.

The Austrian was withdrawn in the 74th minute in the Hammers 2-0 loss to Watford on Sunday after being accidentally stood on by Hornets defender Marvin Zeegelaar.

It was feared that his thumb was broken, but Arnautovic is now likely to face Leicester City on Friday night.

Arnautovic has failed to live up to his £24m price-tag after arriving from Stoke City in the summer.

He has yet to score in his 10 Premier League appearances for the east London club.
