West Ham United have been dealt with three fresh injury concerns ahead of their Premier League fixture against Southampton on Sunday.
The Hammers, currently sat 18th in the league table, host bottom of the table Saints at the London Stadium knowing that a win will take them out of the relegation zone this weekend.
Going into the game, Hammers boss David Moyes has confirmed that he has three new injury concerns going into the tie, with doubts over left-back Emerson, centre-back Nayef Aguerd and striker Gianluca Scamacca, who were all away on international duty this past fortnight.

Emerson has been struggling with illness since returning from Italy duty for their match against England and Malta, while Scamacca, also part of that squad, has concerns over a knee injury.
Centre-back Aguerd was on Morocco duty that saw him play against Brazil and Peru, playing the duration of both, although he has returned to the squad with concerns over a hip issue.
Speaking on the trio, Moyes has said late calls will be required on all of their fresh concerns.
“Pretty good,” said Moyes when asked about the squad’s fitness in general.
“We’ve got a couple of illnesses here and there and a couple of odd injuries.
“Emerson has got a bit of sickness, Aguerd came back with a bit of a grumbly hip and Scamacca’s got a sore knee. We’ll need to see how they are in the next few days.”
They could however welcome three players back from injury to the squad. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski (cheek/eye) and striker Michail Antonio (calf) have both been pictured back in training, while right-back Vladimir Coufal played in both of Czech Republic’s matches during the international break, having missed West Ham’s last five games with a heel injury.
