Valiant efforts have been made by the players and the club's medical team to try to get Hammers duo Jarrod Bowen and Declan Rice fit enough for Thursday's Europa League Cup tie against Sevilla in Spain. Alas the game comes just a bit too soon, it has been decided that it is best for Bowen to continue his recovery in order to have him fit for the Villa game at the weekend as well as the return fixture against Sevilla the following Thursday in London.
Declan Rice is a slightly different situation, he could travel but would definitely be under par having been struck down by a mystery illness that has left him under strength. The medical team and the coaching team have to evaluate the pro's and con's of sending the captain all the way to Spain and then risking him for the game, or like Bowen, keep him in England and do their upmost in order to have him available for the Villa game and the 2nd leg of the Europa League.
The paucity of Moyes' squad is going to be a continuous theme, as fans and pundits ponder on what might have been. - Ed
