Kurt Zouma is expected to feature in West Ham’s squad against Watford tonight (Tuesday) – and could even make the starting line-up.
Just hours after reprehensible footage of the French defender drop-kicking a cat across the floor came to light, he was being lined up to face the court of public opinion at the London Stadium.
Zouma, who has apologised for the dreadful scenes, was originally thought to be facing at least one match, if not more, on the sidelines, as punishment for his affront to domesticated pets.
