Michail Antonio has missed training at Rush Green today after reporting in sick.

Slaven Bilic told a press conference this morning ahead of the Hammers clash against Crytsal Palace on Saturday: “Michail Antonio has a temperature this morning and will not train today. Hopefully it will just be one day and he will be back.”

The news comes on top of the shock announcement that Dimi Payet is refusing to play

Bilic told reporters: “We have said we don’t want to sell our best players but Dimi Payet does not want to play for us. We are not going to sell him. I spoke to the Chairman and this is not a money issue. We gave him a long contract because we want him to stay.”

He refused to discuss transfer targets saying: “I am concentrated on the game and don’t want to talk about transfers. There is still over two weeks to go.”
