Manuel Pellegrini reveals potential major double injury blow for West Ham

Sebastien Haller and Felipe Anderson are both doubts for West Ham's Premier League visit to Brighton this weekend at the AMEX.

The club's two most expensive signings of all time are currently nursing knocks they picked up against Man City last weekend and the manager is sweating on the fitness of them both ahead of the trip to the south coast on Saturday.

The manager didn't disclose what the injuries were but we know that Anderson picked up a thigh problem which forced him off the field against City on Saturday but Haller's is a mystery but believed to just be a knock.

The boss will also be without skipper Mark Noble for the visit to Brighton who is still recovering from a calf injury.

The manager said at his pre-match press conference ahead of the game: "Mark Noble is recovering from his calf injury. I think that next week he will work with the team.

"Also we have some problems with Felipe Anderson and Sebastien Haller, they are trying to recover from the kicks they had in the last game.

"We will see tomorrow [if they will be fit], we have some doubts."

Haller was a club-record £45m capture from Eintrach Frankfurt during the summer transfer window and made his competitive debut for the club last weekend during the 5-0 defeat to City.

Anderson only missed two games last season through injury after his £42m former record move from Lazio last summer.
