West Ham United midfielder Jesse Lingard says that he is absolutely fine, after scoring twice again against Leicester City, in comments to Sky Sports.
Lingard was spotted receiving treatment and taking some pills during the contest by Sky’s cameras.
But the West Ham attacking midfielder insists that the issue is nothing to worry about, and he just had a slight headache.
“Yeah I had a little headache, nothing too much,” he said, when asked about his fitness at full time.
“The lads all battle on for the 90 minutes to get the three points.”
That news will come as a relief to West Ham fans, who have seen their side suffer some crucial injuries already.
Declan Rice and Michail Antonio are both sidelined, which is a major blow to David Moyes’ side.
Thankfully for West Ham they have continued to pick up points though.
West Ham beat Leicester 3-2, with Lingard extending his fine run of form since signing.
The England international scored twice to take his total to eight goals since January, with West Ham really fighting to take a top four spot now.
