West Ham injury news: Hammers to make late call on key player ahead of Newcastle United clash

West Ham will make a late fitness call on one of their key players ahead of the clash with Newcastle United.

West Ham will make a late decision on striker Michail Antonio’s fitness ahead of Sunday’s encounter against Newcastle United. David Moyes has confessed that he is yet to see Antonio in training this week after he missed their Europa League win against Freiburg on Thursday due to injury.

Speaking ahead of Sunday’s game, Moyes said: “I will need to see [if Michail is available]. He’s not trained yet. He has done some running with the medical team, so over the next couple of days we will see if he is able to play.”

Full-backs Aaron Cresswell and Ben Johnson both missed Thursday’s game and are not likely to play against the Magpies as they recuperate from hamstring and groin ailments, respectively. Meanwhile, Newcastle will make a late decision on Callum Wilson and Joelinton’s availability after the pair were injured in midweek’s triumph against PSG.
