West Ham United's first choice goalkeeping duo both feeling injuries ahead of Leeds United clash

First choice Hammers custodian Lukasz Fabianski was forced to miss Saturday's clash at Manchester City due to an arm injury suffered in training and that meant Darren Randolph starting in between the sticks.

However, Randolph has only recently returned from a thigh injury and Hammers boss David Moyes said the 33-year-old Republic of Ireland international 'keeper felt the thigh issue in the second half of Saturday's 2-1 defeat.

Randolph played the full match but West Ham's centre-backs took the goal kicks.

Asked about Randolph and also when he expected to have Polish international Fabianski back, Moyes said at his post-match press conference as quoted by football.london: "Darren Randolph is just back from a thigh injury that kept him out for a month or so.

"He has only been back in training a week or two and he just felt it in the second half again.

"Lukasz picked up a minor injury in training.

"One of the players accidentally stood on his arm and it caused a problem yesterday.

"I am hoping he is going to be back (soon), I can't be sure when, we need to see how he recovers and take stock.

"We don't play again until Monday so it gives us a little bit longer to get those players recovered."
