Not to spoil the celebrations of beating the reigning Premier League champions but it is now emerged that Sakho was injured on the shoulder during a collision with Joe Hart.
In his post match conference reported by KUMB.com Allardyce said
“My big worry is that my leading goalscorer today came off with a shoulder problem at the end,” he said. “I sincerely hope that damage is not severe and he can recover very quickly. When you’ve got someone who scores six in six you can ill-afford to lose them at any stage and if we’re going to lose him, that’ll be a big blow.Saying that, everybody who stepped up to the plate today, with the injuries that we have, has gone out and got a result, gone out and given a great performance so we’re in a very good frame of mind and we’re in a good mood.”
Claret and Hugh are reporting he was taken to hospital directly after the game.
David Gold has answered concerns by fans on twitter by saying “I’m worried, we will know better after the scan on Monday. dg”
Diafra Sakho who signed from Metz for £3.5m has scored 7 goals from 7 starts and 6 goals from 6 Premier League starts. Let’s hope for good news after the scan.
