David Moyes will sent a reasonably strong squad to Boreham Wood for the opening West Ham pre-season match this evening.
Those involved in international games have been excluded as the boss gives them extra time to recover from that and the excursions of the last season.
Scamacca returns as West Ham squad revealed
Tonight’s game will see the return of striker Gianluca Scamacca and among the other among the seniors included will be Kurt Zouma, Angelo Ogbonna, Danny Ings and Jarrod Bowen whilst Conor Coventry will get another chance to impress.
A number of academy players are also travelling with George Earthy, wonderfully impressive in the Youth Cup victory over Arsenal among them.
But there is no room for Divin Mubama who hopefully will be called up for games closer to the start of the season and the tour of Australia
Here’s the full squad: Zouma, Fornals, Scamacca, Downes, Ings, Bowen, Ogbonna, Covernty, Emerson, Da Silva, Earthy, Casey, Heygi, Anang, Chesters, Laing.
