David Moyes shares update on Aaron Cresswell ahead of West Ham v Chelsea
West Ham will face Chelsea in the Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon at the London Stadium.
Ahead of the match, David Moyes has delivered the latest fitness update of his squad with numerous concerns.
Aaron Cresswell has returned to training. Apart from Angelo Ogbonna, Moyes has now got a fully fit squad to choose from.
“Aaron Cresswell is back in training. He’s done a bit of light training so we’ll take a look at that. Otherwise, we’re okay, other than Angelo Ogbonna being out with his cruciate. In the main, we’ve got everybody fit though,” said Moyes (03 December), as quoted by Football London.
Huge boost
The news will come as a huge boost for West Ham ahead of their crucial London derby.
Chelsea are top of the table, and it will be a huge achievement if West Ham can pull out a victory here.
Cresswell has been fantastic this season, with Tony Cascarino hailing him as “brilliant”.
He has maintained a high standard this season, especially with his set-piece deliveries.
Against Brighton in the last game, Moyes has used Vladimir Coufal as right-back while Ben Johnson played in the left-back role.
If Cresswell is deemed not match-fit, Moyes is likely to go with the same combination.
Arthur Masuaku remains another option but he has been very poor in recent games. It is unlikely that Moyes will hand him a start in such a crucial game.
The Hammers are without a win in their last three games in the Premier League, and they will be looking to return to winning ways.
