|

slaven-bilic-west-ham-manager-press-conference_3364517Slav told his pre-match press conference that Antonio and Cresswell are training should be back at the weekend but Kouyate will remain out until we face Burnley at midweek.

Slav told reporters: “From the three players who got injured in the EFL Cup game, a couple of them should be back. Antonio and Cresswell are training with us today after the press conference and according to the medical reports they are fit and they are OK”

“With Cheikhou Kouyate, it is a little bit different. We were hoping he would be OK for Sunday’s game, but unfortunately he will have to miss it. It’s not a big [groin] injury, but he has a great chance to make it for the Burnley game in midweek.

“Diafra Sakho is out. We hoped until the scan came out that it would be one week or more like a cramp, but unfortunately it wasn’t to be and it’ll be five or six weeks. If the medical team do a great job and his body responds it will be four weeks but not for now.”
