The Evening Standard posted their predicted Hammers squad to face the Magpies tomorrow.
And eagle-eyed West Ham fans noticed a glaring omission:
The Italian centre-back is listed as a doubt by the newspaper.
Ogbonna, 32, is expected to be fit to play despite the Standard’s article, however.
Club insiders ExWHUemployee and Claret and Hugh have both confirmed that this week.
West Ham need Angelo Ogbonna back ASAP
Having Ogbonna back and available for selection would be a truly massive boost for West Ham.
We have really missed him during his absence.
The 32-year-old is a great organiser and communicator at the back and those traits are so hard to replace.
The Hammers are in desperate need of the Italian to return to action for the final seven games.
David Moyes will be praying that his inspirational defensive leaders is fit to start against Newcastle tomorrow.
Three points against the aMagpies tomorrow is an absolute must for West Ham.
And if Ogbonna is in fact ready to play, our chances of doing that will increase drastically.
The Evening Standard’s ‘squad list’ report today is a huge concern, however, there’s no denying that.
