West Ham United are set to be without defender Anton Ferdinand for the rest of the season due to his hamstring injury.

The Hammers have been plagued by injury problems all season, and the latest blow came in the early minutes of weekend’s defeat at Bolton Wanderers.

Manager Alan Curbishley said in The Daily Mirror: “It looks like Anton will be out for the rest of the season. His injury 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."
