West Ham United are quietly confident Angelo Ogbonna's groin injury isn't serious.
Ogbonna could be available for their trip to Sheffield United next weekend despite suffering a groin injury in the win over Fulham.
While he is yet to return to full training, there is optimism that, thanks to the international break, the 32-year-old will not be ruled out of any Premier League games.
David Moyes takes his side to bottom of the League Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon next week, and will be keen to have Ogbonna available after his stellar performances this season.
Meanwhile, midfielder Manuel Lanzini has won the Premier League goal of the month for his last minute wonder-strike to steal a point from London rivals Tottenham.
