New West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui’s side suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of former club Wolves in their pre-season friendly in Jacksonville, Florida.
In a match that was delayed by just over two hours because of stormy weather, Matheus Cunha put Wolves in front before having to go off injured.
Mohammed Kudus equalised for the Hammers just before half-time, but two goals from Rodrigo Gomes after the break gave Wolves the win.
“He [Cunha] felt a slight pain behind his knee,” said Wolves manager Gary O’Neil.
“It’s disappointing. With the game being delayed and the wet pitch, they work so hard and are finely tuned, so it doesn’t take much to throw them.
“Matheus is incredibly important to us, but the early signs don’t look bad. He won’t be risked again until he’s completely fine, so the next few days I can provide an update.”
Lopetgui has replaced David Moyes as West Ham boss, and said the Hammers “have to improve in a lot of things with and without the ball”.
He added: “We have a lot of work to do in front of us.”
