Javier Hernandez has been linked with a move away from West Ham United in January.
West Ham United’s attacking injury woes have worsened with the news that Marko Arnautovic will miss three weeks with a hamstring strain, according to Sky Sports.
The Austrian, who has recently hit form with six goals in his last 10 Premier League matches, joins Manuel Lanzini and Andy Carroll on the sidelines at the London Stadium.
New manager David Moyes had converted Arnautovic into a striker, which had made opportunities hard to come by for summer signing Javier Hernandez in recent weeks.
Hernandez has only started one league match since Moyes’ appointment in November, and his agent told Fox Sports that the poacher is open to leaving West Ham this month.
However, with Carroll, Arnautovic and Michail Antonio all in the treatment room, the Hammers would be left very thin up front if they let both the Mexican and Diafra Sakho go.
Hernandez is more important to Moyes, reminding him of his value with Saturday’s equaliser against Bournemouth, and must stay to carry West Ham’s attack through this injury crisis.
