West Ham said scans confirmed the Pole suffered irritation of scar tissue, which is common after surgery.
“It’s good news in the sense that Lukasz hasn’t aggravated or suffered any recurrence of the previous injury,” West Ham medical head Richard Collinge said in a statement.
“We now just need to let the inflammation settle down and expect Lukasz to be available again within a couple of weeks.”
