Zouma’s inclusion
When Kurt Zouma ’s name was revealed to be in the starting XI for West Ham on Thursday night, a wry smile of ‘mission accomplished’ might have passed David Moyes’ lips for a brief second.
The centre-back, a £30million signing from Chelsea last summer, had successfully been smuggled through the week. Hidden away from reporters at West Ham’s open training session on Wednesday morning and seemingly still unavailable due to injury up until the moment the team sheets were passed around the London Stadium.
