The Hammers took on Manchester City in midweek and David Moyes named a much changed team, with the likes of Declan Rice, Nayef Aguerd and Tomas Soucek all missing out through illness.
And it seems as though Rice, Soucek and Aguerd aren’t the only ones suffering…
David Moyes hints at further illness problems ahead of West Ham vs Man United
The Scot addressed the media this afternoon during his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash with Manchester United.
And Moyes worryingly suggested that there are further illness concerns currently at the club, as quoted by WHUFC.com:
“They’ve been in today. Today was the first day we’ve had the chance to assess them. They’ve done a bit of training and we hope they’ll all be available on Sunday. One other player was sent home this morning, and another has said they don’t feel so good, so we have to hope we can contain it. It looks as though it’s more like sickness and the players are getting over it quickly.”
Let’s hope that this sickness bug doesn’t spread throughout the squad any more, and that the player sent home from training today is ready for Sunday.
Getting a result against Manchester United will be vital for West Ham. We really don’t want to go into that Brentford game next weekend, sandwiched between the two legs against AZ Alkmaar, needing a result.
As long as Declan Rice and Nayef Aguerd are fit to play, i’ll be happy. The Hammers illness problem ahead of the Man United game is a really big concern though, I can’t lie.
