Sourced from UEFA, West Ham have made several changes to their Europa League squad, including the additions of summer arrivals Stephen Hendrie from Hamilton and Dimitri Payet from Marseille. Young forward Martin Samuelsen is also added to the squad, along with striker Modibo Maiga is also recalled to the squad as he was unavailable in the last round as his loan from FC Metz was not yet technically expired.

Notable absentees include latest signings Angelo Ogbonna and Carl Jenkinson have both been left out due to not being available in time to be officially registered.

To accommodate for the new additions, young defender Sam Westley has been dropped from the squad, as well as midfielder Stewart Downing, who is understood to be set for a move to Middlesbrough.
