West Ham’s squad came through another fierce examination against Arsenal with no further injury issues.
All the squad reported fit this morning and now prepare to meet Stoke in the weekend game with even James Collins back on the bench last night and available for action.
Cheik Kouyate is a slight doubt with hamstring injury but such has been the form of captain Mark Noble since returning to the side, that is no big issue.
Michal Antonio is still not 100 per cent up to match fitness but David Moyes is happy with the player’s physical well being and more game time can only help after his recent rib injury.
Jose Fonte and Edi Fernandes are the only two long term injuries
Marko Arnauotovic could again prove the ace in the Hammers pack as he returns to his former club determined to put on a show after his ill tempered departure from the club in a £25 million summer deal.
Did I miss where Edi Fernandes became a long term injury ? I thought he just went over on his ankle in training ?
Zouma is not playing for Stoke either so thats good news and Rice will come in Reid which is also good for him, tentatively looking forward to the match COYI !!
