West Ham are still desperately searching for consistency after picking up a big win over Manchester United last weekend. The Hammers are currently in 13th place and still searching for their first back-to-back league wins in the league.

This weekend, the Hammers take on a high flying Nottingham Forest side away from home, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s men currently up in seventh place. Here we round up the injury news surrounding both teams ahead of the fixture.

Santo said a couple of weeks ago: “It is a day-by-day process, so let’s see how he is. He is better today, so let’s hope he is even better tomorrow and keeps progressing.” He is yet to return, though, and will remain a doubt until Santo provides a fresh update.
