West Ham United hope for full squad v Silkeborg and Everton, Ben Johnson has hamstring issue
West Ham United defender Ben Johnson has been struggling with a hamstring injury in recent weeks, according to Claret and Hugh.
The reliable source has reported on its website that David Moyes is still confident of having a full squad for upcoming games against Silkeborg and Everton.
That is said to include Maxwel Cornet, who was struggling after the defeat at Chelsea where he mind-blowingly saw his first goal for the club chalked off.
A key London Road source is said to have shared the good news on Cornet with “high hopes” that he will be available with recovery going well.
Craig Dawson is also set to be back in action and is potentially set to return to the heart of defence in Denmark on Thursday evening in the Conference League.
Nayef Aguerd will of course remain out injured, but there is no news on Tomas Soucek, who is also on the verge of a return after his small problem.
Brilliant.
Having all these players back available would be much better.
Johnson is the perfect rotation option in this squad right now, with his young age and athleticism, added with the experience making him great to have available.
The young defender has played centrally as well as at full-back so it opens more doors to Moyes who will no doubt be expecting more injuries to come given our record.
Cornet will also be raring to go after what happened at Chelsea, with the Ivorian really becoming one of our standout players already at the London Stadium.
This postponement break has given the Irons the time to welcome back some faces and get them ready to go, and now there are two games in a matter of days to get through.
Taking six points would leave a lot of smiling faces at Rush Green on Monday, fingers crossed these developments can help that happen on the road for West Ham United.
