Full West Ham squad available for Premier League tie against Leeds United with two absentees

West Ham United will be without two players for their Premier League clash against Leeds United on Wednesday night.

The Hammers head into their meeting with Leeds off the back of five straight Premier League defeats, their worst run in the Premier League since April 2017.

For the meeting with the Whites, West Ham have two guaranteed absentees through long-term injuries. Centre-back Kurt Zouma remains out after undergoing knee surgery last month but is closing in on a return to full training.

Winger Maxwel Cornet, who has not played since October 1, remains a long-term absentee after a number of setbacks in his recovery from a calf injury. Cornet recently visited Paris for an injection in the hope of easing the issue.

While those two are guaranteed absentees, there could be a full Premier League debut for centre-back Nayef Aguerd following his £30m move from Stade Rennais in the summer.

The Moroccan international was an unused substitute in the 2-0 defeat to Brentford on Friday but is in contention to start against Jesse Marsch’s side.

Here is a look at who could feature for the Hammers against the Whites.
