Nine [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/) players saw action out on-loan this weekend.

## European leagues

In Germany, **Callum Marshall** helped VFL Bochum to a 4-1 win that sees them move closer to safety in the 2. Bundesliga.

Introduced at half-time with the score at 2-0, [Marshall made an immediate impact](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/24/west-ham-loan-watch-gameweek-31/). The 21-year-old had the crucial touch as he set up Farid Alfa-Ruprecht for the team’s third goal of the afternoon. Philip Hofmann would round out the win for Bochum as the game closed out.

In Italy, **Niclas Fullkrug** was introduced at half-time for AC Milan. The Rossoneri would lose 3-0 to Udinese at San Siro making it their third defeat in four games. The loss likely ends the team’s slim Scudetto hopes.

In Hungary, **Krisztian Hegyi** kept a clean sheet for MTK Budapest as they recorded a3-0 win. It is the Hungarian youth international’s second shutout in three games.

## English leagues

In the Premier League, **James Ward-Prowse** played the full 90 minutes for Burnley in their 2- defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. The Clarets competed well for much of the game, but the away side defended well and put away their chances, condemning Burnley to another loss,

In the Championship, **George Earthy** was a second-half substitute for Roy Hodgson’s Bristol City on Saturday. The full-back was deployed early in the second as the Robins played out a 0-0 draw with Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.

A further step down in League One, **Kaelan Casey** was a late substitute for Leyton Orient. The O’s would lose 2-1 to champions-elect, Lincoln City but pushed hard for an equalizer after the introduction of Casey.

**Mason Terry** and **Ryan Battrum** both played 90 mins for Braintree Town in the National League. The already relegated side could not stop Forest Green Rovers from marching through, losing 3-1 to Robbie Savage’s side.

**Josh Landers** came on late for Boreham Wood as they kept pace with 3rd placed Carlisle United with a 3-0 win over Hartlepool United. Matt Rush scored a second-half hattrick to secure the win.
