When and where West Ham’s four World Cup stars are playing in the Round of 32

Crysencio Summerville has enjoyed an excellent World Cup campaign so far, with two goals and an assist in three games.

Despite winning Group F, the Netherlands will face 2022 semi-finalists Morocco in the Round of 32 on Monday night.

Mexico’s Edson Alvarez has also been handed a difficult Round of 32 match against Ecuador after they beat Germany 2-1.

Alvarez has started Mexico’s last two group-stage games, keeping a clean sheet as a centre-back against South Korea.

Fears grow after Soucek injury; Send your message to the Czech giant here! 👇

Czech Republic's midfielder #22 Tomas Soucek (C) leaves the pitch after an injury during the 2026 World Cup Group A football match between the Czech Republic and Mexico at the Mexico City Stadium in Mexico City on June 24, 2026.

Malick Diouf did not play in Senegal’s 5-0 victory over Iraq, which helped them reach the knockout rounds on goal difference.

West Ham will hope that none of the four players suffer an injury, as Soucek did in the final round of group stage fixtures.
