David Moyes has one big selection dilemma for the match tomorrow night.

Angelo Ogbonna, Kurt Zouma and Issa Diop are all currently out injured. There have been rumours that Zouma could return to the squad for the Europa League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Let’s say he doesn’t quite make it though…who will David Moyes turn to as a partner for Craig Dawson?

Ben Johnson would probably be the favourite although Moyes could also opt to use someone from the under-23s…

The 21-year-old Hammers youngster is a truly incredible talent. Standing at 6ft 3in tall, the West Ham starlet seems to be perfectly built for the physically intense nature of top level football.

Alese hasn’t put a foot wrong at youth level for West Ham and next season could be a huge one for him as he looks to make a step up to the next level at the London Stadium.

He might just get a chance to prove himself sooner, however, with so many first-team centre-backs currently out injured though…

Alese was spotted this afternoon training with the West Ham first-team at Rush Green, via The Athletic’s Roshane Thomas:

We personally don’t think that Moyes will start Alese for West Ham against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League tomorrow.

If Zouma is not passed fit to play, then Moyes will most likely opt to use Ben Johnson alongside Craig Dawson in central defence.

Aji Alese will undoubtedly be involved in the match-day squad though. And that’s a huge achievement for the 21-year-old.
