David Moyes provides injury update on West Ham’s Craig Dawson ahead of Brighton clash

West Ham United boss David Moyes has no fresh injury concerns heading into Sunday’s Premier League meeting with Brighton and Hove Albion.

Heading into Sunday’s tie at the London Stadium with the Seagulls, the Hammers are coming off the back of a 3-1 win over Danish side Viborg on Thursday night at the London Stadium in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off qualifying round tie.

For that win, Moyes made seven changes from the side that lost to Nottingham Forest last weekend, with Kurt Zouma, Said Benrahma, Michail Antonio and Pablo Fornals dropping to the bench, Lukasz Fabianski spared from the squad and Declan Rice and Aaron Cresswell absent, alongside Moyes from the touchline, through suspension.

However, it was still a strong side that was fielded, with Jarrod Bowen, Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet, Manuel Lanzini, Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal among those starting, as well as Angelo Ogbonna.

Asked about team news ahead of facing the Seagulls, Moyes said that no fresh injuries had been picked up in the first leg win.

“I don’t think we’ve had much from last night,” said Moyes. We’d hope to getting many people back with a few people injured at the moment.

“So we hope to get them back and be as strong as we possibly can against Brighton.”

One man yet to feature so far is Craig Dawson, with the centre-back missing all three of The Hammers’ games so far in all competitions through a quad injury.

Asked for an update on the former West Bromwich Albion and Watford defender, Moyes added: “Not too far away, not too far away.”

Centre-back Nayef Aguerd remains sidelined until mid-October with an ankle issue, while midfielder Flynn Downes missed out on a full debut against Viborg and came off the bench late on due to a minor toe issue.
