West Ham Team News and Injury Updates
West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo says the team’s in good spirits after their win earlier this week. Freddie Potts is back in the squad now that he’s finished his three-game suspension. Pablo Felipe’s still out, though; he’s started some light training, but that calf injury isn’t quite healed yet. Lukasz Fabianski is also still dealing with his back, so Mads Hermansen will stay in goal as the main cup keeper.
Brentford Team News and Injury Updates
Brentford just can’t catch a break right now. Rico Henry’s out for a while after picking up a hamstring injury against Bournemouth, and he’s not the only one missing. Vitaly Janelt, Aaron Hickey, and Fabio Carvalho are all on the sidelines, too. There’s a bit of hope for Reiss Nelson as he’s facing a late fitness test on his calf, so maybe he sneaks into the squad. Even with all these injuries, Keith Andrews looks set to send out a strong team, hoping to keep their good run going against their East London rivals.
