Slav reveals “it’s all looking good”

Manager Slaven Bilic is set to name  a strong squad for Saturday’s trip to the south coast with Andy Carroll, Robert Snodgrass and Jose Fonte all recovering from minor knocks.

And with Michail Antonio returning from suspension we are looking in very good nick as we look to bounce back from the Chelsea defeat.

Carroll and Snodgrass both needed treatment for cuts during Monday’s 2-1 defeat against Chelsea at London Stadium, while Fonte picked up a slight strain, but all three players completed the full 90 minutes and the Hammers boss is confident of their involvement against the Cherries.

Slav said: “Andy and Robert both had cuts in the Chelsea game. Snodgrass had stitches [in his leg], and Andy in his eyebrow, but they are all right. Andy is fit.

“Fonte also felt something, but we are very optimistic that he is going to be OK for the game on Saturday, so it all looks good.”
