Moyes broke the news of a West Ham injury

West Ham United embark on a historic event later tonight when they meet Eintracht Frankfurt for the first match of their Europa League semi-final clash at London Stadium.

Manager David Moyes received some positive news before the start.

What’s new?

According to well-respected insiders Hammers Claret and Hugh, central defender Kurt Zuma has recovered quickly from his injury and now has an outside chance to join the squad for today’s match.

Although he is more likely to play in the second game in Germany, this will certainly be extremely encouraging news for both the Scots and the loyal Irons, who are heading to the last few games of the season.

Will we see Zouma play again before the end of the season?

YES!!

The 27-year-old colossus, who cost £ 29.8 million from Chelsea over the summer, suffered an ankle problem during West Ham’s defeat to Brentford earlier this month.

A few days later, The Evening Standard reported that Hammers feared his season could end by joining Angelo Ogbona at the long-term treatment table.

Big push

Moyes has suffered a defense crisis in recent weeks, with Isa Diop another central defender suffering an injury, while Craig Dawson’s red card against Chelsea on Sunday means the Hammers boss has no senior central defense options in their Premier League clash with Arsenal. .

Thus, the return of Zouma, who has always been in the back line of Irons, can be a very timely and big boost for both Moyes and the team.

According to WhoScored, the Frenchman is the best central defender of West Ham (6.79) – far behind Dawson (6.70), Ogbon (6.66) and Diop (6.46).

Only the monsters in the midfield Declan Rice (1.7) and Thomas Soucek (1.6) have on average more catches per game than Zuma (1.5) in this campaign, while he is the best defender who plays with the ball, averaging 86, 5% accuracy on passes with an average of over 40 passes per game.

According to the report above, a key Hammers source told Claret and Hugh that Zouma had a “small chance” to play tonight and had a “very real chance” he would play in the second game next week.

Moyes called his summer signature “outstanding” earlier in the campaign, so he will be happy to see the £ 25million titan close to his return when he has a place in the Europa League final and in the top six in the Premier League.

And in other news, Moyes has to launch the “unplayable” machine of West Ham with an estimate of £ 31.5 million, he will terrify Frankfurt …
