There was some terrible news for Slaven Bilic this afternoon after full back Aaron Cresswell was ruled out of action for up to four months.

Head of Medical and Sports Science Stijn Vandenbroucke confirmed that Cresswell - who was injured as the result of a reckless tackle by Karlsruher midfielder Grischa Promel - is unlikely to return to action until November, having damaged knee ligaments.

Whatever course of action we decide to take, Aaron faces a period of rest, followed by treatment and rehabilitation," reported Vandenbroucke via whufc.com. "He will be out for a period of between three and four months."





Cresswell, who joined West Ham from Ipswich in the summer of 2014 has barely missed a first team game since, having made 89 first team appearances for the Hammers in the last two seasons.
