Mounting injury problems for West Ham ahead of West Brom clash
Posted Friday, January 24, 2020 by PA
West Ham have mounting injury worries ahead of the visit of West Brom in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Arthur Masuaku, Robert Snodgrass and Angelo Ogbonna are all set to miss out.
Masuaku and Snodgrass suffered knee injuries at Leicester in midweek, while Ogbonna picked up a back problem.
Felipe Anderson (back), Lukasz Fabianski (hip), Ryan Fredericks (hamstring), Andriy Yarmolenko (thigh) and Jack Wilshere (groin) are all still on the sidelines.
Championship leaders West Brom will be without midfielder Matheus Pereira through suspension for the trip to east London.
The club accepted a charge of violent conduct against the Brazilian, who was alleged to have elbowed Stoke midfielder Joe Allen and will now start a three-match ban.
Midfielder Grady Diangana, on loan from West Ham, was forced off early during the 1-0 defeat on Monday night with a hamstring problem, while full-back Kieran Gibbs (hamstring) remains sidelined.
Baggies boss Slaven Bilic is again expected to rotate his squad for the cup tie – with 19-year-old midfielder Rekeem Harper and veteran striker Charlie Austin among those who could be drafted in.
