Pedro Obiang celebrates his spectacular strike opens the scoring at Wembley

West Ham midfielder Pedro Obiang has undergone a successful operation on the knee injury he sustained at the end of January.

The 25-year-old suffered a tear to the medial collateral ligament in his right knee during the Hammers' Emirates FA Cup tie at Wigan Athletic on 27 January.

Obiang is likely to miss the rest of the season but West Ham's head of medical Gary Lewin is confident the Spaniard will return stronger.
