West Ham United desperately need a win this weekend.
West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini spoke to reporters today, and named three players who are unavailable for selection for Saturday’s game with Leicester City due to injury, as quoted by Football.London.
The Hammers currently sit in 11th spot in the Premier League table, and are in the midst of a poor run of form, having lost four of their last five games.
Pellegrini has had real problems with injuries at West Ham this season, with many of his key players spending prolonged periods of time on the treatment table.
And whilst some of the players out with long-term injuries are nearing a return to action, Samir Nasri, Manuel Lanzini and Javier Hernandez could all be set to miss out on Saturday.
Pellegrini told reporters how the trio are all unavailable for selection, as quoted by Football.London:
“For this week I think that Manuel Lanzini and Samir Nasri will not be availabe. Also, Javier Hernandez has a problem in his ear so he hasn’t been able to work during these last days.”
Whoever plays for West Ham on Saturday will have to be on their very best form, if they are to have any chance whatsoever of beating a strong Leicester side, and Pellegrini will be hoping that those waiting in the wings to start the game are ready to impress.
