Lukasz Fabianski has travelled with West Ham squad to face Sevilla
Lukasz Fabinski has travelled with the West Ham squad for their Europa League clash against Sevilla on Thursday (10 March).
The 36-year-old goalkeeper hasn’t played in any of the Europa League away matches so far, with David Moyes trusting Alphonse Areola in goal.
Given the importance of the game, Moyes could be tempted to start with Fabianski.
Football London journalist Tom Clark has tweeted: “Fabianski is here, he had not travelled to the other Europa League matches.”
Injuries
The Hammers are losing Jarrod Bowen for this game, and his absence would be a massive blow for the club.
Bowen has been in tremendous form this season, but the Hammers will have to find a way to score and get a positive result.
West Ham lost 1-0 against Liverpool in their previous league game, but they were the better side of the two at Anfield.
On another day, the Hammers could have won had they been more clinical.
Against Sevilla, they will have to be very compact at the back, and at the same time, they must look for opportunities to score.
The big bonus could be the return of Declan Rice. The England midfielder has been unwell for the past few days, but he has travelled with the squad and is in contention to start.
Sevilla are serial winners of this competition, but the Hammers are strong enough to provide them a strong challenge.
In other West Ham news, Europa League opponents Sevilla are also struggling with injuries as eight senior stars are ruled out.
