West Ham United’s run of injuries during the international break is suspected to have continued, with a first-team player rumoured to have suffered an injury.

Over the course of the 2026 World Cup, the Hammers suffered a long-term injury to Czech Republic international Tomas Soucek, who is only now finally returning to the squad, but Hammers fans will have to face the ‘one-in, one out’ curse as Manor Solomon is suspected to have picked up a back injury in Israel’s goalless draw against Kosovo.

Whilst David Sullivan is not being an active member of the board at West Ham United, he has clearly ventured his interest elsewhere as it was announced yesterday that the 77-year-old is set to sue the BBC for £150m due to defamation of character.

On June 8th 2026, the BBC released a Panorama titled ‘Predator: The Billionaire Football Boss’. This Panorama had been released in timely fashion after Daniel Kretinsky, the now majority shareholder of West Ham, announced his intention to take control of the club.

Nils Koppen, who joined West Ham during the summer transfer window, was the leader behind the fate of how the exits and incomings would go. Nils recently sat down on the official West Ham podcast ‘Irons Cast’ and discussed how he was brought into the club whilst also giving insight into the decisions he made and the strategies he put in place.

Coming into the club whilst in the middle of the transfer window, it was a huge objective to undergo, being placed with a task to effectively rebuild a side whilst almost minimising costs due to the debt the Hammers are in. Tricky stuff!
