Cup of woe for West Ham and Valencia

West Ham striker Enner Valencia is likely to miss Saturday's clash against Arsenal after cutting his toe on a broken cup. "He had an accident at home and has cut his big toe quite severely," Hammers manager Sam Allardyce said. "It has been stitched.

"We think it will be too soon for him be considered for the game at Arsenal."

Allardyce, added: "It was a freak accident at a time when we could have done without it due to our lack of available strikers.

"Our lack of goal scoring power is a worry. Not having alternatives to use is concerning going into the last 10 games."
