West Ham midfielder Freddie Ljungberg is a doubt for the Euro 2008 finals after suffering a cracked rib in his side's 2-2 draw with Newcastle.The Sweden international was stretchered off at Upton Park in a first-half clash with Steven Taylor and manager Alan Curbishley revealed the player had been injured.

The former Arsenal man therefore becomes the latest player to join West Ham's lengthy absentee list.

Curbishley said: "I think Taylor has tried to leapfrog him and landed on him. He has been raked all down the side and front of his face and cracked a rib.

"That's another one out for us but we are hoping he will be okay for the Euros."
