Jesse Lingard hobbles off with injury for West Ham against Newcastle in worry for club and country
JESSE LINGARD hobbled off for West Ham against Newcastle in a major blow for the Hammers’ Champions League dreams and potentially England’s Euro plans.
The Manchester United loanee had continued his sensational run by scoring for a fifth consecutive game.

Lingard’s 80th minute penalty had brought David Moyes’ side level at 2-2 at St James’ Park.
But Joe Willock, on loan from Arsenal, scored the winner to ease the pressure on under fire Steve Bruce just two minutes later.
Shortly after, Lingard went down needing treatment on what appeared to be a leg injury.
The 28-year-old was unable to continue and was replaced by Manuel Lanzini in the 87th minute.
West Ham are already struggling with injuries with striker Michail Antonio currently sidelined.
England midfielder Declan Rice is also nursing a knee injury he picked up on international duty with the Three Lions last month.
