Striker drops out of squad after knee injury
David Moyes made no mention of striker’s injury while he confirmed that Andy Carroll will be part of West Ham matchday squad during his press conference at Rush Green this morning. The manager admitted that Pedro Obiang and James Collins both need more time on the training pitch before they can be considered for Premier League football again but didn’t discuss Hernandez.
Social media account revealed on Twitter this evening “We can confirm that Javier (Chicharito) Hernández has not travelled & is not in the squad to face Leicester city, due to a knee injury that has troubled him since Thursday.”
West Ham will be without long-term absentees Winston Reid (knee), Sam Byram (ankle) and Michail Antonio (hamstring) on Saturday.
