David Moyes has delivered unfortunate news for West Ham as they prepare to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday. The Hammers will be without key players Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio, dealing a significant blow to their hopes for a hat-trick of wins this season.
Although hopes were high for Paqueta’s return after sustaining a calf injury in December, Moyes announced that he is not yet ready to rejoin the squad. Similarly, Antonio, who has been out since November, has only recently returned to training and is not yet match fit.
Despite this setback, West Ham must remember that they managed to beat Arsenal without Paqueta in their previous encounter. However, the news is a triple boost for Arsenal and manager Mikel Arteta, as they will have additional players available for the match.
As the anticipation builds for the Declan Rice derby, the former Hammers skipper has shown his support for his old club, while Arsenal super fan Piers Morgan has been vocal in his teasing of West Ham fans ahead of the London derby.
