West Ham United are heading into this international break in relatively good shape in terms of fitness, but they do have a couple of minor injury concerns to address. One of their key players, attacking midfielder Mohammed Kudus, is set to miss Ghana’s upcoming international friendlies against Nigeria and Uganda due to a knee injury. However, reports suggest that the injury isn’t severe and Kudus should be back on the pitch soon. The team will be hoping for a swift recovery for Kudus as they will need his creativity and attacking prowess in the upcoming matches.
In addition to Kudus, Maxwel Cornet and Emerson Palmieri are also nursing injuries – Cornet with a thigh issue and Palmieri with a minor knock/groin strain. Palmieri was a late call to feature in the recent score draw with Aston Villa on St. Patrick’s Day but had to come off early. Manager David Moyes has provided updates on their fitness, stating that Cornet is currently receiving treatment at Rush Green and won’t be fit for the next game, but he is hopeful that Cornet will be ready for the trip to St. James Park.
The international break will likely be crucial for the injured players to recover and regain full fitness for the challenges ahead. Despite these minor setbacks, West Ham seems to be in good physical condition overall, which bodes well for their ambitions to secure a strong finish in the Premier League table and secure European football for the next season. With a healthy squad and determination, the Hammers are well-equipped for the challenges that lie ahead.
