West Ham Injury news update

Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that West Ham’s injury list has grown from seven to nine players with Marko Arnautovic and Lucas Perez unavailable on Saturday.

But he has hopes that Arnautovic will overcome his virus and Obiang will return from his calf muscle sprain by the midweek game with Spurs.

Pellegrini told reporters post-match “Maybe for this week with the cup, Pedro Obiang maybe. We will see tomorrow, he worked today without any problems so maybe he can be fit for Wednesday.

We need to continue monitoring the situation with Marko Arnautovic and his virus. Lucas Perez also, I am not sure, he has a pain in his foot. The other six we have no option but at least to wait another couple of weeks.’

Manuel Lanzini (ACL), Andy Carroll (Ankle), Winston Reid (Knee), Carlos Sanchez (Knee), Jack Wilshere (Ankle)  and Andriy Yarmolenko (Achilles) are the other absentees
