West Ham United defender Anton Ferdinand is set to miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.

The Hammers' medical team will assess the problem today but manager Alan Curbishley will not take any risks so close to the end of the campaign.

Ferdinand's injury means the Hammers currently have 14 players in the treatment room.

Alan Curbishley said: "It looks like Anton will be out for the rest of the season. His injury just sums up the kind of problems we have been having. It was a blow for us so early in the game. But we just have to get on with it."
