David Moyes delivers three key West Ham injury updates and Jesse Marsch Leeds United praise

West Ham manager David Moyes has provided an injury update for three key players before his side travel up to Elland Road and face a Leeds United side that will be up for any challenge.

The Whites were defensively outstanding against Newcastle United on New Year's Eve and will be hoping for a similar performance at the back on Wednesday night.

The Hammers are without a win in their last five matches, but could leapfrog Jesse Marsch's side in the league table if they manage to bring all three points with them back to London.

In his pre-match press conference, Moyes highlighted centre-back pairing Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd as out for tomorrow's match while also providing an update on Michail Antonio.

"Mick's had a bit of illness that a lot of people have had around the country. Kurt is okay but not available for tomorrow. Nayef is getting himself back ready. He's back training and building himself up."

Away from injury news, the Scotsman also revealed that he enjoys Leeds manager Jesse Marsch's way of football, and after the Whites announced their new signing of Max Wober from Red Bull Salzburg, Moyes acknowledged that the American will need time to implement what he wants at the club.

"If you understand the Red Bull model, you understand Jesse Marsch. He's done it very well, he's implicated it very well. It's something that might take a bit of time."
