West Ham forward Ricardo Vaz Te has revealed he is still some distance away from making a return.

The former Bolton man suffered a dislocated shoulder in the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal earlier in the month and has been out of action since then.

“I’ve got four weeks now during which there is not much I can do, so I just have to make sure I relax and look after myself,” he told the club’s official website.

“Basically, I was at Chadwell Heath (training ground) until Friday and now I have a week off to either go home or simply to chill out and relax.

“Then I’ll come back for two weeks and that completes the first four weeks, which are just steady recovery. After that, I will begin to increase my workload for the next six weeks.”
