ExWHUemployee: Unknown whether Kurt Zouma will be involved for West Ham United v Watford
It is unknown whether Kurt Zouma will feature for West Ham United against Watford this evening in the Premier League, according to ExWHUemployee.
Footage emerged of the French defender abusing his cat overnight, with the club insisting they are dealing with the matter internally.
David Moyes was said to be reserved when speaking about Zouma in his press conference, with further action to follow from in and outside the club.
Writing on the West Ham Way Patreon last night (07 February, 10:43 pm) Ex shared the latest on the situation.
“The club have said they are dealing with the matter internally but there is sure to be further consequences for the defender,” he wrote.
“He has issued an apology but that will not change things for the player. It is unknown whether he will feature tomorrow now and David Moyes was clearly reserved when discussing the player in the press conference today.”
Shocking.
We simply cannot get over the video that surfaced late last night.
What on earth was Zouma thinking? Just a simple apology will not change what he has done in abusing his cat.
The poor animal looked petrified, and it casts a real dark cloud over his head if he was to feature this evening.
We assume that Moyes and the Hammers will be dealing with this matter away from the pitch, and likely leaving the Frenchman out as a consequence for his actions until a conclusion is reached.
This will go further than the club though, we presume, and until that investigation is sorted, it is hard to comment further.
It looks as though Issa Diop and Craig Dawson will partner each other at the back against Watford, in what has become a must-win Premier League game.
