Illness has hit more West Ham stars for Liverpool confirms a top source as fatigue takes its toll ahead of the Carabao Cup quarter-final.
West Ham will be far from full strength for the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Liverpool.
That has been confirmed to Hammers News by the top source inside West Ham less than eight hours before kick-off.
We reported on claims earlier that West Ham’s stars had complained about fatigue ahead of the trip to face Liverpool at Anfield for a place in the semi-finals.
Illness hits more West Ham stars for Liverpool
It comes after a sickness bug impacted key players in recent matches – particularly the 5-0 drubbing at Fulham.
Now illness has hit more West Ham stars for Liverpool confirms the top source as fatigue takes its toll.
The source has confirmed that illness and fatigue will mean West Ham will not be full strength for the clash with Jurgen Klopp’s Reds.
We’ve been told “a few” Hammers stars are sick ahead of the match. But the identity of the players set to be sidelined remains a mystery.
“A few are sick” confirms top source
“Some are tired/worn out,” the source told Hammers News.
“A few are sick, so we won’t be at 100% strength.”
It’s a real blow at a key time for West Ham as they go in search of another trophy. And West Ham fans will be justifiably concerned having witnessed what can happen when Moyes is missing even just a few key players.
Hammers supporters were left feeling sick and tired themselves when the draw was made.
Because since the 2010/11 season, West Ham have drawn a so-called “Big Six” side 19 times in the domestic cups.
Should West Ham make it to the semi-final, they would face one of Chelsea, Middlesbrough or Fulham over two legs.
