West Ham injury latest compared to Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United after international break

No West Ham United player picked up an injury during the latest international break.

The Hammers had 19 players meet up with their international squads, senior and youth sides, across 25 games in the past fortnight.

Among those away were Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen with England, Gianluca Scamacca and Emerson with Italy, Lucas Paqueta with Brazil and Thilo Kehrer and Alphonse Areola with Germany and France respectively.

And having started the season with one senior centre-back fit and losing players during the opening seven Premier League fixtures, David Moyes would have been keen to avoid further injuries.

Summer signing Nayef Aguerd is a long-term absentee after picking up an ankle injury in pre-season, while Ben Johnson is close to returning after being forced off against Aston Villa last month with a hamstring injury.

Thankfully for West Ham heading into their Premier League return on Saturday against Wolves, no player picked up a knock according to talkSPORT and Moyes will have a full selection of players outside of those already on the sidelines.

In contrast, three Arsenal players returned to north London with injuries, Thomas Partey, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu, while Chelsea saw Christian Pulisic pick up a knock.

Manchester United and Man City had three players combined hurt during the international break, while Saturday's opponents Wolves avoided any injuries. Alongside West Ham and Wolves, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Leeds and Liverpool had players return with no reported injuries.

With the Irons sitting in 18th place in the league after five defeats in their opening seven games, Moyes will be keen to return to winning ways and kickstart their season.

Last campaign saw West Ham finish seventh in the table and reach the UEFA Europa League semi-finals, where they lost out to eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt.
