# West Ham Loan Watch: Josh Landers makes first start for Boreham Wood

- **Josh Landers made his first start for Boreham Wood**
- **Krisztian Hegyi secured a clean sheet for MTK Budapest**
- **Maxwel Cornet returned for Genoa**

West Ham United beat Everton 2-1 on Saturday to take another step forward in the Premier League survival fight.

Whilst the first-team’s eyes are all [on the task in hand](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/25/west-ham-2-1-everton-premier-league/), a number of [Nuno Espirito Santo’s players](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/26/nuno-espirito-santo-west-ham-win-over-everton/) are out on-loan and featured over the weekend, with some making more impact than others.

## English leagues

In the National League, striker **Josh Landers** made his first start for Boreham Wood as the team closed out the season with a 1-0 win over Sutton United. The young forward played 63 minutes as the team warmed up for their playoff eliminator against Forest Green Rovers on Wednesday night.

In the same division, **Ryan Battrum** started for Braintree Town as they lose 5-1 to Tamworth to bring a close to their season. **Mason Terry**, who [won the club’s supporters player of the season](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/22/west-ham-loan-watch-gamweek-33/), missed out on the game through injury and will return to [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/) for rehab now the season is over for them.

In the Championship, **George Earthy** was an unused substitute for Bristol City as they lost 2-1 to Birmingham City on Friday night. The Robins play Stoke City for their final game of the season this weekend.

In League One, **Michael Forbes** was not involved as Northampton Town lost 5-1 to promoted side, Cardiff City. The same was the case for **Kaelan Casey** as Leyton Orient lost 1-0 to Blackpool meaning they could have to win on the final day to secure safety.

## European leagues

**Niclas Fullkrug** came of the bench for [AC Milan](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/28/west-ham-lead-race-for-ac-milan-youssouf-fofana/) as they drew 0-0 with Juventus. Milan now sit 12 points behind league leaders and cross-city rivals Inter Milan.

Staying in Serie A, **Maxwel Cornet** was a late substitute as Genoa lost 2-0 to Como. This was the wingers first appearance since early February.

In Hungary, **Krisztian Hegyi** kept a clean sheet as MTK Budapest continued their resurgence. MTK are now safe from relegation, being eight points clear of the drop.

**Edson Alvarez** remains side lined for Fenerbahce as they lost the Istanbul derby to Galatasaray, 3-0. The result now leaves them seven points behind their opposition in the title race with three games to play.
