Due to the fact that West Ham manager David Moyes has hinted at the possibility of additional sickness concerns, the team’s upcoming encounter against Manchester United might end up being a disaster. In the Premier League match scheduled for Sunday evening, West Ham will play host to Manchester United.
Both squads are hoping to come out on top. The illness of several important players, notably Declan Rice, Nayef Aguerd, and Tomas Soucek, forced David Moyes to make a significant number of replacements during the Hammers’ midweek encounter against Manchester City.
It would appear that Rice, Soucek, and Aguerd are not the only people experiencing discomfort at this time. David Moyes, the manager of West Ham United, gave an injury and sickness report on seven players before his team’s Premier League match on Saturday against Manchester United.
On the other hand, the three members of the Hammers have gotten in some more training time in order to be ready for their encounter on Sunday against the Red Devils.

Furthermore, Vladimir Coufal, the right defender, who suffered a hamstring injury at the Etihad Stadium in the middle of the week, will not be available for the encounter against the Red Devils.
Moyes did not provide any other details on the nature of the issue, but the club is keeping their fingers crossed that it is not an ongoing issue. To ensure their own survival, West Ham must first defeat Manchester United.
