West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic reveals that midfielder Michail Antonio will miss the club's EFL Cup tie with Tottenham Hotspur.

West Ham United midfielder Michail Antonio has been ruled out of the club's EFL Cup tie with Tottenham Hotspur.

Antonio has established himself as one of West Ham's key men over the past two years, and the versatile wideman has started in eight of the Hammers' nine Premier League fixtures this season.

However, the 27-year-old will be absent from the squad for the game at Wembley Stadium after sustaining a knock against Brighton & Hove Albion last Friday.

Manager Slaven Bilic told reporters: "Michail Antonio will definitely be out tomorrow because he had a knock on his ribs in the first half against Brighton, but managed to play. It's very painful, so he'll be out."

Bilic also suggested that both James Collins and Diafra Sakho will remain out of contention after only returning to training on Tuesday.
