West Ham United winger Marko Arnautovic has not suffered a broken thumb and could be available for Friday's Premier League game against Leicester City, according to a report.
The Austria international was withdrawn in the 74th minute of the 2-0 defeat at Watford on Sunday after his hand was accidentally stepped on by Hornets defender Marvin Zeegelaar.
There were initial fears that Arnautovic would join a growing injury list at the London Stadium, but according to Sky Sports News, a scan has revealed no damage to his thumb.
In addition, West Ham fan site Claret and Hugh has claimed that the 28-year-old wants to play through the pain barrier and will have his injured hand bandaged for the home game against the Foxes.
Arnautovic has made 10 appearances for the Hammers since his £24m summer move from Stoke City but is yet to score for his new side.
