West Ham vs Tottenham injury news as 3 ruled out and 4 doubts for Premier League clash
All the latest injury news surrounding West ham and Tottenham as they prepare to face off in the Premier League.
Tottenham and West Ham face off this weekend in a clash between two London sides who are desperate for some Premier League relief. These two sides are separated by just one point in the Premier League having both had campaigns to forget.
Spurs still have something to play for this season, and they will already be looking ahead to their Europa League semi-final second leg with Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night, but Ange Postecoglou will know the benefits of momentum, and he will want to see his side push to beat the club’s all-time record low points total, which is 44, seven points more than they have currently.
West Ham need momentum wherever they can get it as they look ahead to next season. The Irons have struggled to find any sort of form under Graham Potter, and the Englishman will want some indication that he can improve the club’s fortunes to ease pressure going into next season.
Here we round up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams heading into this one.
Heung-min Son - Doubt
Postecoglou said last week: “In terms of rehab, Sonny is the only one who is going through that process, improving, but not ready for Sunday.” Son did not make the game on Thursday night and will remain a doubt.
Dominic Solanke - Doubt
Solanke limped off against Bodo/Glimt and will likely be a doubt here as a result. Postecoglou will surely not want to risk him.
James Maddison - Doubt
The same applies to Maddison, who also limped off. Postecoglou said after the game: “Both of them felt something niggly,” he said. “It just made sense to take them both off and protect them a little.”
Radu Dragusin - Out
Dragusin is out for the season and likely until next winter. A statement read at the time: “Radu underwent surgery today following his ACL injury. That procedure has now been completed, and the centre-back will now commence with his recovery before beginning the rehab process.”
Michail Antonio - Out
Antonio will not return this season, and it is unclear when he will be fit enough to play after his leg break. Antonio has said previously: “Yes, 100 per cent, I will play again. Overall, they say it will be between six to 12 months before my leg starts healing properly.”
Crysencio Summerville - Out
Summerville will not be back until later in May, with Potter having said: “Cry is still training with the physios, he'll be a few weeks yet, I think. It's been a fairly complicated one for him, so we just have to take our time.”
Edson Alvarez - Doubt
Alvarez missed the Brighton game with a minor issue and will remain a doubt here. Potter said before the last game: “Edson is still out with a back problem. He's just going to probably miss the game. [We’re] hopeful [for] next week.”
