David Moyes will know by later today the full extent of Kurt Zouma's injury once the centre back has had a scan on his knee which he injured during yesterday's thrilling 3-2 victory over London rivals and European Champions League winners Chelsea.

The ridiculous amount of games ALL clubs are having to play will inevitably cause players to pick up more injuries than would be normal, losing Angelo Ogbonna was massive, that injury was swiftly followed by losing Aaron Cresswell and now Kurt Zouma AS WELL AS young Ben Johnson.

This article is definitely NOT an I told you so moment, the paucity of Hammers squad is rather historical now, as there is nothing that can be practically done before the January window opens, or is there? The left side of Hammers defence, so long a paragon of meanness, has been dismantled of late, to paraphrase Oscar Wilde “'To lose one may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.”!
