West Ham suffer injury blow ahead of faceoff vs Arsenal

West Ham United will return to action on Sunday when they host North London side Arsenal in the Premier League.

Ahead of the big game, the Hammers manager David Moyes has revealed his squad will be without two players in persons of Lucas Paqueta and Michail for the game.

Both players are on the sidelines owing to injury.

Recall that the Hammers will play against the Gunners, with Moyes looking for his first Premier League win after three draws and one defeat in his last four games.

However, Moyes will have to achieve it without Paqueta, who has a calf problem, and Antonio, who is back in training after a knee injury but is not ready to feature.

“Lucas Paquetá isn’t ready yet. Michail Antonio has started training but has only trained for two days with the group.

“It’s great having him back, but he’s still off it in terms of match fitness and being available,” Moyes told reporters on Friday.
