West Ham vs Brentford early injury news as 8 ruled out and 1 doubt
A look at the early injury news surrounding West Ham and Brentford as they prepare to face off in the FA Cup.
West Ham and Brentford are back in action this weekend when they face off against each other in the FA Cup. The Hammers picked up a huge win during the week, moving level on points with Nottingham Forest after an away victory over Fulham.
Brentford drew with AFC Bournemouth away from home and will be pleased with the point as they continue to bid for European football. Here we take a look at the early injury news surrounding both of these teams ahead of their FA Cup meeting.
Fabio Carvalho - Out
Carvalho is out for the season after suffering a serious knee injury just before the winter.
Antoni Milambo - Out
Milambi also suffered a serious knee injury, requiring an ACL repair back in November.
Joshua DaSilva - Out
DaSilva is battling to return before the end of the season. Keith Andrews said last week: “Josh is in modified training with the first-team squad. As he continues to progress, he may be available to be in a matchday squad before the end of the Premier League season.”
Aaron Hickey - Out
Hickey has a hamstring issue, and Andrews has said: “It is hoped he will return after the March international break.”
Vitaly Janelt - Out
Janelt is out for at least a couple of weeks after picking up an issue in the Brighton game.
Reiss Nelson - Doubt
Nelson is a doubt and may well miss out, but he will likely return next week. There is an outside chance he can make it.
Rico Henry - Out
Henry is a fresh blow. Andrews has said: “It's a hamstring strain. His performances have been of such a high level. It was a shame we lost him so early in the game, and hopefully it's nothing too serious.”
Pablo Felipe - Out
Santo said before the Fulham game: “No, not yet, he has joined individual programmes, part of the session. Assessing day-by-day.” It’s almost certain Pablo won’t be risked here even if he is fit.
Lukasz Fabianski - Out
Fabianski is finally back in training but it will take some time to be ready to play, and he is not likely to be one of the top two options in any case.
