Cole is the Hammers top goalscorer this season with eleven goals but now faces the prospect of missing the rest of the season.

Gianfranco Zola confirmed to the official site, "Fortunately he won't need an operation.

"It's just a problem in between the muscle and the tendon in his groin so he doesn't need an operation. He should be available in six weeks. That's what I have been told."
