West Ham star set for five weeks out in fresh injury blow: Slaven Bilic to offload him
WEST HAM could be without summer signing Gokhan Tore for over a month through injury.
Gokhan Tore could be out of action for up to five weeks
According to The Sun, who claim the winger has been ruled out for up to five weeks after suffering a quadriceps muscle problem (thigh).
It's come at the worst possible time for West Ham, with seven first-team players currently on the treatment table.
The Hammers spent £2.5million to land Tore from Besiktas on a season-long loan deal in the summer, but he has so far failed to impress in his eight appearances.
And The Sun add that West Ham manager Slaven Bilic will look to send Tore back to Turkey before the January window opens should his injury concerns persist.
Slaven Bilic is currently without seven first-team players
Injuries have severely affected West Ham's start to the season as Bilic's side sit in the relegation zone after winning just one of their seven Premier League games.
Bilic could have strikers Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho and defender Aaron Cresswell back within the next few weeks, while forward Andre Ayew could return towards the end of the month.
