Masuaku’s drops heavy Cressie/Antonio hint

Arthur Masuaku appears to have dropped a heavy hint that our big two will be missing from tomorrow night’s game against Arsenal.

The left back has declared himself ready for action saying: “We lost Michail Antonio and Cressy through injury [on Wednesday] and that makes things more difficult. Both players are very important for the team so we hope they can come back as soon as possible.”

“I hope that we are going to beat Arsenal on Saturday and that is my only target. It is very important for the team and the fans so let’s hope we can do that.

Of his sub appearance at Old Trafford after Cressie was taken off with a tight groin he said: “It was nice to be back on the pitch, but it is always hard to play against a team like Manchester United,” he revealed. “I always try to do my best, but it didn’t happen like I wanted. We have to keep working hard as a team.

With Diafra Sakho ruled out for six weeks with a thigh injury, Ashley Fletcher could get the chance to lead the Hammers attack once again after scoring his first goal in Claret and Blue in midweek and hopefully Andy Carroll may make himself available for the squad.”
