David Moyes says West Ham star Manuel Lanzini is 'sore but OK' after surviving 'very big scare' from dramatic car crash on the A12 and he could even be passed fit to face Everton on Sunday

West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini is 'sore but OK' following the car crash he was involved in on Thursday.

The 29-year-old was on his way to the Premier League club's training ground in Rush Green, east London, when the car he was travelling in skidded off the A12 and into a ditch at around 2pm. Firefighters and police raced to the scene.

Argentina international Lanzini, who was being driven by a chauffeur in a £70,000 Mercedes people carrier, was assessed by medics and suffered no serious injuries.

The vehicle – a V-Class Mercedes with a West Ham number plate – had landed on its side, leaving many onlookers fearing for the worst before it was confirmed that the midfielder had emerged unhurt.
