West Ham dealt injury blow as David Moyes confirms Marko Arnautovic will miss Tottenham clash

The Hammers club-record signing will miss the Premier League clash at Wembley Stadium

WEST HAM boss David Moyes has confirmed that Marko Arnautovic will miss the Tottenham clash due to injury.

This will come as a huge blow for the Hammers following the 28-year-old's blistering spell of form.

Ahead of kick-off, Moyes said: "Marko has got an injury as well.

"He's been really important to us, but he's not fit to play tonight."

Arnautovic has allegedly been suffering with a hamstring injury.

The in-form winger has been a huge figure for the Hammers in recent weeks, with five goals in his last seven appearances.

The Austrian failed to make the bench and has been replaced in starting XI by Javier Hernandez.

This is only the second time that Moyes has started Chicharito since he took over in November 2017.

Mark Noble also returned to the starting line-up for the first time since the 3-0 victory against Stoke.

It's unlikely that Arnautovic will feature in Sunday's FA Cup clash against Shrewsbury.

Arnautovic joined West Ham from Stoke for a club-record £25million move in July 2017.

And he showed his commitment to the Hammers as he clutched the team badge and celebrated like crazy after scoring against his former side in December.
