West Ham United have revealed that Enner Valencia will be out of action for up to 12 weeks.
Valencia damaged his ankle and knee when he fell awkwardly in the 2-2 draw with Astra Giurgiu, but the Hammers forward used Instagram to confirm that an operation would not be needed as the club confirmed he could face three months on the sidelines.
West Ham co-chairman David Gold revealed at the weekend that the injury is likely to force the club to sign a striker.
