If you were hoping to see Michail Antonio face Everton this weekend, you could be disappointed.
The Toffees visit East London in search of back-to-back Premier League wins, whilst West Ham United will be aiming to bounce back from defeat at Sheffield United.
According to Claret & Hugh, Antonio has been training alone all week following his latest setback, despite being expected to return this weekend.
The report claims a club insider has revealed that they are hopeful he’ll be available, but it’s no more than hope at this stage.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Antonio’s absence could leave David Moyes without a striker on the bench for the second consecutive game.
I think now that Darren Randolph has secured his £4million return to East London, West Ham must be doing all they can to sign reinforcements up front.
With just over two weeks left of the transfer window, Sebastien Haller’s only natural competition is Albian Ajeti, who is yet to make a Premier League start.
Moyes tested the 3-4-3 to, what I thought was good effect against Sheffield United, but even if he sticks with it, you need at least two quality striker options.
Antonio could make it in time for the visit of Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but even if he does there will always be lingering doubts about his fitness.
