Kurt Zouma better, hoped to be available: Confirmed West Ham team news v Newcastle
David Moyes has confirmed his West Ham team news for the Premier League clash against Newcastle on Saturday.
The Irons boss is hoping to have Kurt Zouma available for the clash after he dropped out of the Leicester draw through illness.
It was shared that the Frenchman has been training this week, so hopes are high for a return to the starting XI.
Moyes was speaking in his latest press conference, with Tom Clark sharing the news on his personal Twitter account.
“He is better, it took him a couple of days to get over but he has trained so I am hoping he is available,” he said.
Hopeful.
Zouma was driven straight back to the capital after dropping out of the side for the 2-2 draw at Leicester, with recovery started instantly.
Moyes will have kept him away from the training ground as he recovered, but it looks as though he was straight back in at Rush Green as soon as he could.
Getting that last-gasp draw at Leicester was perfect, and Zouma’s replacement, Issa Diop, did nothing to lower his stock after coming in at the last moment.
Despite the ongoing saga with Zouma, if he is available, there is a big chance that he will go straight back into the starting XI alongside Craig Dawson.
These are the games you have to win if you want to get in the Premier League top four, and that will be the message going round before tomorrow.
Get the job done.
