Injury Woes Cripple Palace

West Ham United have received a significant boost ahead of their crucial Premier League clash against Crystal Palace this afternoon

With the season nearing its end, West Ham know only victories will keep their European ambitions alive. Their trip to Selhurst Park this afternoon becomes a must-win encounter.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner faces a selection nightmare, with up to nine players ruled out due to injury. This presents a golden opportunity for West Ham to capitalise.

Jefferson Lerma, Marc Guehi, Sam Johnstone, Rob Holding, and Cheick Doucoure are all confirmed unavailable. Additionally, concerns surround Will Hughes, Joel Ward, Matheus Franca, and Chris Richards.

While West Ham also has injuries, our situation seems far better compared to Palace’s decimated squad.

West Ham must seize on this advantage presented by Palace’s misfortune. Although, I seem to recall a similar situation ahead of our not so recent trip to Newcastle, and we all know how that ended!
