Lucas Neill

from Sky Sports News

West Ham continue the search for defensive reinforcements, but the London side have received some welcome news in that new signing Lucas Neill has only been ruled out of action for up to three weeks.

The Australian international picked up an ankle injury on his debut after joining from Blackburn Rovers, but has only suffered minor damage.

"Lucas suffered an inversion sprain to his right ankle," head physiotherapist Steve Allen told the club's official website.

"Following MRI scans on Sunday, his estimated recovery time is two to three weeks, but we are hopeful that he could be back sooner."
