Kieron Dyer's injury curse has struck yet again with a hamstring strain which has stopped his latest comeback in its tracks.[LNB]Dyer was close to a return to West Ham's first team after a hamstring problem and hoping to feature at Sunderland on Saturday when he injured the same muscle in his other leg during training this week.[LNB]Crocked: Dyer has started just four Premier League games in two years[LNB]The 30-year-old, who has 33 England caps, has started only four Premier League games in more than two years since his £6million transfer to Upton Park from Newcastle.[LNB]'We are talking about two or three weeks,' said Hammers manager Gianfranco Zola. 'It's unbelievable. I just feel so sorry for him. This boy works so hard. He comes back and, when he's ready to be 100 per cent fit and get back into the team, he gets injured again. [LNB]'It's a real pity because he's one of the players who can give us something really good.[LNB]'He's been out for a long time and keeps picking up these little injuries. They're not big issues but obviously his confidence is not good. I've told him he has to fight, to be stronger than that and he will get there. [LNB]'He is frustrated but you can't afford to have frustrations because that doesn't help.'[LNB] SUNDERLAND v West Ham: Darren Bent is a fitness concern for Hammers testValon Behrami pledges future to struggling West Ham but Juventus line up January move for all-action midfielderALL THE WEST HAM FC
