da casino： West Ham United could be without Manuel Lanzini and Edimilson Fernandes for Monday’s Premier League match against Huddersfield Town at the London Stadium.
What’s the problem?
da supremo： football.london reports that the Hammers are sweating on the fitness of Lanzini after the playmaker withdrew from Argentina’s squad with a knee injury.
The publication also claims that Fernandes is a doubt for Monday’s fixture after spraining his ankle.
Slaven Bilic dealt with numerous injury problems last season, and it appears that he is going through the same issues again just three games in the league campaign.
Marko Arnautovic is suspended for the game, while Winston Reid is out injured, and there are doubts over the fitness of Andy Carroll and Andre Ayew.
Can West Ham get a result?
If Lanzini and Fernandes are both missing for the home match on Monday evening, then Bilic’s midfield will suffer.
The team have struggled for creativity so far this season, and losing the midfield pair will make life even tougher on the pitch.
It is the first game of the season at the London Stadium, so there will be even more pressure on the players to get a result.
West Ham have had an unfavourable start to the campaign having lost their first three matches.
They have only managed to score twice and have conceded 10 goals, which does not bode well given that Huddersfield are unbeaten with two wins and a draw.
Bilic will be hoping that every one of his players raises their game in order to get the points that they desperately need.
