Thursday 31 January 2019 09:04, UK
West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic could face Liverpool on Monday after scans revealed he suffered only bruising to his right foot in the 3-0 defeat to Wolves.
Arnautovic, who was named in the starting line-up for the first time since signing a contract extension with the Hammers, was caught by the follow-through of Ruben Neves' clearance in the 72nd minute.
He attempted to continue, but appeared to be struggling to put any weight on his right leg and was eventually replaced by Javier Hernandez.

The 29-year-old, who was making his first appearance since January 12, left Molineux on crutches and wearing a protective boot around his right foot.
Arnautovic travelled back to London on Tuesday evening and his fitness will continue to be assessed ahead of the match against Liverpool, live on Sky Sports Main Event HD and Sky Sports Premier League HD.
