With a game in the Europa League to play on Thursday night ahead of the trip to St Mary's on Sunday, West Ham manager David Moyes already has issues that may reduce his squad for the game against Saints.

Main concern for Moyes is former Saints loanee Mikail Antonio, the 32 year old striker who scored in a 3-1 win against Fulham at the weekend has not trained this week due to illness and is likely to miss the home game against Anderlecht in the Europa League and is a doubt for the trip to Southampton.

The West Ham boss had this to say ahead of the game tomorrow evening:

"I think most of the players are fine, Micky Antonio has had a wee bit of cold, or the flu, which has kept him out of training a day or two. We’re a little bit unsure on him. We’ve got a couple of knocks and niggles but hopefully, he will be okay."

Meanwhile, Moyes also gave injury updates on centre-back Nayef Aguerd and former Burnley winger Maxwel Cornet, who both also missed training with respective ankle and calf issues. And Moyes has confirmed that both are due to miss the Anderlecht game and Sunday’s trip to Southampton, but could be back in training after that.

darthvader added 21:13 - Oct 12 That old chestnut .. Like Everton, Villa and wolves didn't they have injury worries before the game? We got our own problems like scoring and our own injury problems.

dirk_doone added 13:32 - Oct 13 It's not just scoring issues, darth. We haven't kept a clean sheet in the Premier League for half a year. The last one was with Fraser Forster and Oriol Romeu in the team against Arsenal in April.
