West Ham United have revealed that Kieron Dyer's recovery from a double leg break remains on schedule.

The England midfielder suffered the horrific injury just three games into his Hammers career back in August.

Dyer was injured during the first half of their Carling Cup third round victory over Bristol Rovers and is unlikely to play again this season.

However, his rehabilitation programme remains on track and West Ham's medical staff are confident the 28-year-old will be able to return to first-team action.

"Kieron met with his surgeon and it went really well as he said that he was right on schedule with his rehabilitation," head physio George Cooper told the club's official website

"He had an X-ray which showed the bone is growing round the fracture at the rate we would expect it to.

"He was given the all-clear to continue using two crutches and to put the injured leg down, gradually introducing weight over the next month.

"If that goes well the process will then be to use one crutch, thus introducing more weight and then, after that, walking with no crutches at all."
