West Ham United crock Enner Valencia will avoid surgery to his right knee.

Valencia broke down during West Ham's Europa League clash with Astra Giurgiu last Thursday night.

Slaven Bilic called it a “significant" injury at the time but it could be even worse than first feared.

Valencia will get the results of a scan today but West Ham are now likely to be forced back into the market.

He is a key player for West Ham who now only have Diafra Sakho and Modibo Maiga as fit strikers to choose from.
