West Ham handed huge Wolves boost as four players ruled out of London Stadium clash

West Ham United have been handed a significant boost before Tuesday night’s clash with Wolves, with four visiting players ruled out of the Championship meeting at London Stadium.

Wolves travel to east London sitting second in the table after collecting seven points from their opening three games, but César Peixoto will again be without several first-team options.

Wolves’ official preview confirms Kieran Trippier, Yerson Mosquera, Rafiki Said and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde will all miss the match.

Four Wolves players ruled out against West Ham

Bellegarde is understood to be progressing in his recovery but remains a couple of weeks away from returning.

Wolves could welcome Santiago Bueno back into contention after the defender returned to the bench during Saturday’s 4-1 victory over Stoke.

West Ham’s injury situation is considerably better.

Pablo Felipe returned to Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad against Watford and is available again, leaving Tomáš Souček as the Hammers’ only confirmed absentee.

West Ham have already received that welcome Pablo boost before Wolves.

Nuno’s side desperately need a positive result after taking only two points from their opening three Championship games.

And with Wolves arriving without four senior players, West Ham have been handed one advantage they cannot afford to waste.
