West Ham vs Sheffield United - West Ham expect Cresswell to be in contention

Posted Friday, October 25, 2019 by PA

West Ham expect to have full-back Aaron Cresswell available following a groin strain for the Premier League match against Sheffield United.

Defender Winston Reid is set to step up his recovery from a long-term knee injury with an appearance for the Under-23s.

Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski (hip) and winger Michail Antonio (thigh) remain unavailable.

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has a full squad available to choose from for the trip to east London.

The Blades came through Monday night’s 1-0 home win against Arsenal, which saw them move up to ninth in the Premier League table, without any new issues.

Should Wilder decide to make any changes to his team they would most likely be in attack, with the likes of Oli McBurnie, Callum Robinson and Billy Sharp all options.

West Ham provisional squad: Roberto, Ogbonna, Diop, Fredericks, Masuaku, Anderson, Lanzini, Noble, Fornals, Rice, Haller, Martin, Balbuena, Zabaleta, Snodgrass, Wilshere, Yarmolenko, Ajeti, Cresswell.

Sheffield United provisional squad: Henderson, Baldock, Stevens, Fleck, O’Connell, Basham, Lundstram, McBurnie, Robinson, Egan, Norwood, Mousset, Sharp, Freeman, Jagielka, Osborn, Moore, Besic, McGoldrick.
