West Ham United are struggling in the Premier League at the moment.

Harry Redknapp has told talkSPORT that West Ham United are missing Aaron Cresswell at the moment.

Cresswell is one of the best left-backs in the Premier League and is an important player for West Ham.

The 26-year-old sustained knee ligament damage during a pre-season game against Karlsruhe in July, ruling him out for four months, as reported by Sky Sports.

Former Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham manager Rednapp believes that Cresswell is a miss for the Hammers.

The Englishman has also stated that the London outfit are missing striker Andy Carroll.

The former Newcastle United and Liverpool man is on the sidelines at the moment with a knee injury.

“They’ve lost Aaron Cresswell and they miss him, he’s an outstanding left-back, and they need to get Andy Carroll back fit as quick as they can,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.

“He gives them a focal point they can hit. He’s a handful for defenders and he can make a difference for West Ham.”

Carroll is a good player and West Ham do miss him, but Cresswell is a bigger miss for the Hammers.

The former Ipswich Town left-back has been one of the best players for West Ham for the past two seasons.

West Ham are third from bottom in the Premier League table at the moment with just three points from six matches.

The Hammers will take on Middlesbrough at the London Stadium in the league on Saturday afternoon.
