DAVID MOYES PROVIDES DETAILED INJURY UPDATE AHEAD OF TONIGHT’S CLASH!
West Ham manager David Moyes has given a comprehensive update on the current injury status of his players, with seven key figures working their way back to fitness. Here’s what fans need to know ahead of tonight’s crucial match:
🔵 Mykolenko’s Recovery:
Vitaliy Mykolenko has been dealing with a slight injury, but the Ukrainian full-back has been back in training. Moyes is optimistic that Mykolenko will be available for tonight’s match, saying, “He’s back and did a bit in training yesterday. We’re hopeful he’ll be okay, but we still have to wait and see tomorrow exactly how he is.” His recovery will be monitored closely, and his inclusion remains uncertain until matchday.
🔵 Ndiaye and McNeil Progressing:
Both Ili Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil are progressing well in their recovery journeys. Moyes confirmed that Ndiaye is a little further along than McNeil, who is still working on getting fully fit. “Both of them are doing great,” Moyes said, highlighting how important it is to have them back in training, as they both offer significant depth to the squad. While McNeil may not be ready for full action yet, his return to training is a positive sign for the club.
🔵 Broja and Chermiti Ready for Action:
Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti, both of whom featured as substitutes in West Ham’s previous 1-1 draw against West Ham United, are now fully available for selection. Their fitness is no longer a concern, and they’ll add fresh options to the attack.
❌ Injured and Out:
Dominic Calvert-Lewin: The striker remains sidelined due to a persistent hamstring injury. Moyes acknowledged the progress made in Calvert-Lewin’s recovery, saying, “We’re waiting on Dom to come back, but the rest are all getting much closer to fitness.” While Calvert-Lewin is back on the grass, a return date remains unclear, but the fact he is making progress offers hope for his future availability.
Orel Mangala: The midfielder is still out with a knee injury and will not be part of the squad for tonight’s match.
đź©ş The Bigger Picture:
While injuries have hampered some of Moyes’ key players this season, the recovery of players like Ndiaye, McNeil, Broja, and Chermiti is vital for West Ham’s depth and attacking options. With only two confirmed absentees—Calvert-Lewin and Mangala—Moyes has a nearly full-strength squad to choose from. The return of these players is essential as the Hammers push for important points as they fight for a higher spot in the league.
As the match approaches, all eyes will be on how Mykolenko, Ndiaye, and McNeil’s fitness shapes up. Could tonight’s lineup see the return of some crucial players? Stay tuned for more updates on West Ham’s preparations and injury news!
