Lucas Pérez has taken to Twitter to show why he didn’t play the full 90 minutes for West Ham United against Crystal Palace.
Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini subbed off the 30-year-old Spaniard for Andy Carroll.
However, the West Ham star posted photos of his bloodied football boot and the injury he sustained on his foot — and it’s far from a pretty sight. Check it out below.
Happy for the win and regretting not being able to continue helping the team ⚒ #COYI pic.twitter.com/dQEvTN0kSn

Ouch. That is going to leave a mark!
West Ham fought back hard after James McArthur opened the scoring for Roy Hodgson’s men. Robert Snodgrass pulled the Hammers back into the match in the second half, with Javier Hernández and Felipe Anderson extending their lead to 3-1.
