West Ham are without goalkeeper Alphonse Areola for today's Premier League clash with Fulham.
Areola missed his first game of the Premier League season in Thursday’s 2-1 victory at Tottenham. He was absent because of a minor wrist injury, with Lukasz Fabianski taking his place between the posts.
Moyes took the decision to make Areola his first-choice goalkeeper this summer in a move which saw he and Fabianski swap roles from last season.
“No team news to give out”, Moyes said on Friday ahead of Sunday’s trip to Fulham. “We’re reporting in [for the press conference] so early, so we’re waiting for them to check in and we’ll find out in the next few hours.
“Lukasz Fabianski is a superb goalkeeper and has been for years and years here. I wasn’t surprised at how well he played and how comfortable he was coming in. He was excellent, he really was.”
West Ham otherwise have a clean bill of health for their visit to Craven Cottage, except for striker Michail Antonio, who is expected back from his knee injury within a fortnight.
West Ham starting XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Cresswell; Fornals, Ward-Prowse; Kudus, Soucek, Paqueta; Bowen
Subs: Anang, Mavropanos, Cornet, Ings, Ogbonna, Benrahma, Kehrer, Emerson, Mubama
Date and time: 2pm GMT on Sunday December 10, 2023
Venue: Craven Cottage
