Genk coach keeps Moyes guessing

|

Genk coach John van den Brom will keep David Moyes guessing on his likely line-up as the Belgian outfit get set to take on the Hammers at the London Stadium on Thursday evening.

After defeats in their last three games whilst conceding eight goals a win is a desperate necessity for the side but van der Brom is giving nothing away by naming a squad of 23 for the trip to London.

The Hammers are all set to ring the changes with Mark Noble – now fit again according to our sources – ready to step up probably for Tomas Soucek.

Alpjone Areola, Issa Diop, Craig Dawson, Manu Lanzini and Andriy Yarmolenko are also likely to be involved in the Hammers starting line up,

The Belgian coach has announced a squad of 23 for the match which  will include the boys who are still playing in the UEFA Youth League today: Tobe Leysen, Jay-Dee Geusens, Luca Oyen and András Németh .

Of the A-team  only the suspended Daniel Muñoz and the still recovering Simen Juklerød will not travel. The team will fly tomorrow at 12.30 pm from Maastricht to London. At 7 pm we still train in London Stadium.
