David Moyes plays down fears over Jesse Lingard's fitness after West Ham star hobbled off during defeat by Newcastle as Hammers boss insists 'it was just cramp' amid injury pile-up at top-four hopefuls

David Moyes has played down fears over Jesse Lingard's fitness after the West Ham star picked up a knock during Saturday's defeat at Newcastle.

Lingard, 28, has been in sensational form for the Hammers since arriving from Manchester United on loan in January, and added to his tally at St James' Park with a penalty to make it nine goals for Moyes' side this season.

However, the Englishman was seen hobbling off in the latter stages of the game in Tyneside to the concern of West Ham fans amid an injury pile-up at the east London club.
