West Ham manager David Moyes has confirmed there remains a doubt over who will feature in goal on Monday night against Leeds United.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash at the London Stadium, Moyes confirmed Lukasz Fabianski is yet to train having suffered an arm injury last weekend in training.
Number two choice Darren Randolph seemed to be struggling whilst deputising for the Pole and the Scotsman couldn’t be sure of his availability either. He said:
I think we’re pretty much as we were. Lukasz Fabianksi hasn’t trained yet but has got a chance to play. Darren Randolph’s got a problem with his hip and is doing some work in the gym. I’m hoping we’ll have one of them fit by Monday night.
Fabianski has played 24 times for the Irons in the Premier League this term with Randolph appearing on the other two occasions.

Were the Hammers playing prior to Monday it seems neither ‘keeper would have made it.
Having one of those two fit and available would be a major plus for West Ham’s chances, especially having gone the season without having to call upon third-choice David Martin.
Credit to Martin, who when needed put in a stellar performance against London rivals Chelsea.
However, Fabianski and Randolph are noticeably ahead of the English stopper in the pecking order and with Leeds United’s attacking prowess well known. Moyes would benefit from one of his first options being available.
