West Ham United boss David Moyes has admitted that Vladimir Coufal suffered a heel injury against Nottingham Forest yesterday.
Forest were soundly beaten 4-0 by West Ham at the London Stadium yesterday, and it was a hugely important three points for us.

However, aside from the final result, it wasn’t all good news for the Hammers.
Lukasz Fabianski had to be substituted in the second-half after suffering a nasty injury to his eye socket.
It seems as though the 37-year-old wasn’t the only injury concern for West Ham after the game though…
David Moyes opens up on West Ham right-back injury
Vladimir Coufal, 30, was taken off at half-time yesterday, with Aaron Cresswell taking his place.
The 34-capped Czech Republic international has just started to find a bit of form again after really struggling for the last 12-18 months.
So it’s mightily frustrating for him, and us as fans, that he might be forced to miss some action now.
Moyes spoke to reporters after the game yesterday and responded when asked to give an update on Vladimir Coufal, as quoted by Football.London:
“Vladimir Coufal has got a bit of a heel injury, he’s been feeling a bit on his heel but I didn’t think it was quite that bad, but he had to come off with it at half-time.”
Let’s hope that it’s nothing too serious and Coufal is ready to play again on Wednesday night in the FA Cup against Manchester United.
The 30-year-old is still a key player for the Hammers, when he is fully fit, firing and on form.
And judging by the comments from David Moyes, Coufal should return to action for West Ham very soon indeed.
