Sam Allardyce is set to be missing from the West Ham dug-out this afternoon when the team take on Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.
The manager has a chest infection and no 2 Neil McDonald is set to oversee team affairs unless the 60 year old boss has a late change of mind.
Sam missed yesterday’s press conference and a source claimed this morning: “The last we heard was that he won’t be at the game.
“He has a nasty chest infection and is set to stay indoors which is obviously the right thing to do in those circumstances.”
Check McDonald has no mobile with him and we might have a chance of playing adventurous football for a whole 90 mins.
And if Nolan is playing take him off after 2 minutes!
