Injury expert shares West Ham United ahead of Premier League clash v Brentford
West Ham United will be without two first-team players for their Premier League clash against Brentford on Sunday, according to injury expert, Ben Dinnery.
David Moyes’ men got their Conference League semi-final off to a winning start with a 2-1 victory over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday evening (11 May).
The Hammers travel to West London on Sunday but will do so without Gianluca Scamacca, with the Italian out for the season with a knee injury.
Vladimir Coufal is also “ruled out” after missing the Conference League win with a hamstring problem (Premier Injuries).
Rotate
With West Ham’s Premier League status all but secure, Moyes should look to rotate his squad here. Potentially resting some of his heavy hitters for the return leg on Thursday would be a wise move.
The Conference League could well be a defining competition for the West Ham boss. He needs the silverware to make a case for his time at the London Stadium to continue.
The Scot has endured some extremely tough moments during the 2022/23 season but he will be confident in his ability to turn West Ham back into a top-ten side.
He’s had so much success at the London Stadium. People are quick to forget how impressive West Ham have been over the last three years.
Moyes has steered the club to some healthy league positions. Sixth in 2020/21 and seventh in the 2021/22 campaign. If he can land a trophy, there’s a chance the board could offer the Scot the chance to carry on into next season.
