West Ham were rocked by more injury woe on Sunday afternoon with Michail Antonio and Aaron Cresswell both limping off during the Hammers' 2-1 win over Aston Villa.
Antonio was replaced by Andriy Yarmolenko in the 52nd minute with the Ukrainian going on to open the scoring 18 minutes later. The return of Yarmolenko to the matchday squad gave a huge boost to all at the London Stadium, however, the loss of Antonio would be a huge blow to the Hammers' hopes of seeing off Sevilla in the Europa League and continuing their push for European football next season.
football.london understands that Antonio has not suffered a hamstring injury as first feared and it is his thigh that is the issue. The striker will undergo tests today at the Hammers' Rush Green training ground but the first prognosis is he should be available for the second leg against Sevilla on Thursday evening.
