West Ham United have confirmed that Ireland international Jess Ziu sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during her side's League Cup match against London City Lionesses last weekend.

The injury had ruled Ziu out of Ireland's crucial World Cup play-off against Scotland on Tuesday, but now West Ham have revealed the extent of the injury.
