The recent £6million signing from Newcastle was caught by Rovers defender Joe Jacobson early in the Hammers' 2-1 win.

He was stretchered from the pitch at the Memorial Stadium, and a series of X-rays have revealed the 28-year-old fractured the tibia and fibula in his right leg.

A statement on club website www.whufc.com said: "It is too early to say at this stage how long the player will be out for as this will become clearer once the first stage of surgery is completed."

After Tuesday's game, Hammers manager Alan Curbishley revealed his anger at Jacobson's 10th-minute tackle on Dyer, which led to furious exchanges between the opposing players.

"I just can't put it into words," he said. "The game was just immaterial after that and I think that the Bristol Rovers' player has got to be very disappointed with his tackle because, as far as I could see, he lashed out after losing the ball. The players could see what he did and that's why they were so angry."

But Rovers manager Paul Trollope defended Jacobson, insisting: "Joe is an honest lad and he swung his leg to get the ball. It was just an unfortunate incident."
