Injuries were always going to take their toll sooner or later on Hammers wafer thin squad, the fact that it has stumbled through thus far is testimony to the huge amount of work put in on the training ground and the high levels of fitness instilled in this current David Moyes West Ham United team.
Unfortunately much like busses and police station closures, injuries tend to come in their three's when it comes to West Ham, as is the case ahead of one of the club's most important fixtures for over 40 YEARS! Forwards Michail Antonio AND Jarrod Bowen are BOTH doubtful ahead of Thursday evening's 2nd leg Europa League Cup tie against Sevilla in London.
Aaron Cresswell is ALSO highly doubtful following a reccurance of the ankle injury he had been sidelined with recently, he will be a HUGE loss as will that of Antonio and Bowen. They would all have to happen at the same time wouldn't they, the cupboard is well and truly bare, down to the bare bones as 'Arry used to say. - Ed

Don’t Panic
it will all be ok
Six months ago we were
Six months ago we were dreading Ant getting injured ,now i think it could be not the big problem we were thinking it would be ,i hope hes not thinking Yarma will last 90 mins ,he hasnt trained in a month and as for the Chec ?,nough said ,
Antonio
Thought WHU played better when Antonio went off, especially in the last 20mins
He's not been at it for a while now
So i do not think he will be that big a miss the problem is does Moyes have a plan b? ahh yes Bowen he ahhhh he's injured as well so plan c Moyes? well Yarma can play mmmmm yes he can but for the whole match thursday and sunday when he clearly has more important things on his mind.....and if Moyes picks Arthur for thursday because Cressy is injured gord help us all.....And that my friends as we all know and been saying such a small squad has come back to bite us in the bum bigtime.
Afraid
at some point it was always going to happen,so we grin and bare it and wait and see wot happen don’t we COYI’S always an IRON
Going to be a fight to get
Going to be a fight to get anything out of this season now. We're clinging to European football by our fingertips and need to cobble some results together. Tough one against Seville, as they'll be aware our game has been to play on the counter and they're more than good enough to sit back and defend a one goal lead. Need to put Tottenham to the sword to keep a gap and negate their two games in hand, need Liverpool to do us a favour against a very in form Arsenal tonight to keep them in our sights. Man U seem ready to implode at any moment although they now only have top 4 to play for and beware the circling Wolves. If our boys can eek out some results, our season could have a shiny finish so the crowd will need to play their part big time to get the boys over the upcoming lines.... Of course we can do it, we're MASSIVE! COYI
