Injury setback for Tomkins
West Ham have had the shine knocked off their 4-0 win at Watford by an injury to defender James Tomkins.[LNB] The 22-year-old, who opened the scoring in just the third minute, limped off shortly after the hour and is now a doubt for Sunday's clash with Leeds.[LNB]Hammers boss Sam Allardyce said: "It might not be too bad, but he might not have enough recovery time for Sunday.[LNB]"He had one cleared off the line against Cardiff, had another good header against Doncaster and here he's got the ball rolling by scoring from our first corner.[LNB]"I think we might and could run into problems because if one is injured and then another gets injured we have got little cover in that position.[LNB]"But it is one of those things that you have to deal with in the Championship. If it runs through till after the deadline, I have the good fortune in this division where I can use an emergency loan and it may be a question of us using that."
