West Ham boss David Moyes says Ryan Fredericks is close to a playing return.
Moyes is counting on the fullback's return being soon.
"Ryan's probably the only player we've got any real major concerns over," he said. "He felt his groin and he's had an injury prior to it before, so he's being assessed at the moment.
“He won't be fit for this game [against Leeds] but we're hoping it's not too serious. We'll know more after the results of the tests, probably at the start of next week.
“We're very fortunate that we've got a couple of other right-backs we can play if we get a problem there, but with the amount of games we've got in the schedule, we want them all to be ready to play, so I'm hoping that they all can do that.
"I'm not sure how bad Ryan's is – I'm hoping that it's something that's quite short and quick [to recover from] – but again, we can only wait and see what the assessment comes back with."
