Sam set to miss Swansea clash

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.”
