West Ham United can confirm that midfielder Dimitri Payet suffered an injury to his left ankle during Saturday's game with Everton.


The France international had a scan on Sunday and after a consultation with a specialist on Monday, it is likely that he will be ruled out of action for three months.


Payet picked up the injury following a challenge from Everton midfielder James McCarthy and was forced to leave the field early in the second half.


Meanwhile, Enner Valencia's ankle injury will be assessed by a specialist early next week and whufc.com will bring a further update on his fitness then.
