West Ham manager Alan Curbishley described his side's 2-1 Carling Cup second
round win at Bristol Rovers as 'immaterial' after new signing Kieron Dyer
suffered a suspected broken leg.
The Premier League side defeated the League One outfit thanks to two Craig
Bellamy goals before half-time but Dyer had already been hospitalised by
then.
The England man, who has suffered with a host of injury problems in recent
years, now faces another lengthy spell on the sidelines just 12 days after
completing his move from Newcastle to Upton Park.
點回咁黑架佢
Curbishley said: 'We are so devastated for him. I can't put it into words
really. The game was immaterial after that. You put a strong side out and
you wonder why sometimes.
'We are delighted we have got through but after 10 or 15 minutes the game
was immaterial. Everyone in the dressing room is really down about it.'
Dyer had been hurt by a challenge from Rovers left winger Joe Jacobson and
Curbishley intimated he and his players felt the challenge - which was
punished by a free-kick only by referee Mike Jones, had been a reckless one.
He said: 'I think the Bristol Rovers player has got to be very disappointed
with his tackle. As far as I can see he has lashed out after losing the ball
and caught Kieron in a difficult area.
'Wouldn't you be angry? The players could see he lashed out. But it is
immaterial what the referee does after you get a serious injury like that.'
