West Ham United striker Michail Antonio could miss the Hammers’ Europa Conference League clash with Anderlecht on Thursday night due to a virus.
The Hammers could seal top spot in Group B of the Europa Conference League this week should they beat Anderlecht and Danish side Silkeborg fail to beat FCSB in the group’s other game in Matchday 4. A win would guarantee a spot in the knockout rounds for West Ham, regardless of the other result, but top spot would see them get a free pass through February’s play-off knockout round.
However, ahead of Thursday’s game, Antonio did not train with the main group on Wednesday due to an illness that has kept him out of training since scoring off the bench against Fulham on Sunday.
