David Moyes provides Kurt Zouma and Maxwel Cornet injury updates ahead of Man United fixture

David Moyes has confirmed Kurt Zouma is getting closer to returning to the West Ham United first team but remains unsure on Maxwel Cornet.

Zouma has missed the last month of action for the Hammers since picking up a thigh injury in the win over Everton, a game in which he was returning from a two-month absence due to a knee injury.

As for Cornet, a calf injury sustained against Wolvehrampton Wanderers five months ago has kept the summer signing out of action due to a number of setbacks along the way.

Both have been pictured in training ahead of the FA Cup fifth round tie vs Manchester United on Wednesday night and Moyes has provided an update on the pair, with Zouma closer to a return than Cornet.

"[Kurt] Zouma’s [getting] closer, I’m not quite sure about [Maxwel] Cornet yet, I need to just see," said Moyes. "I’ve been really pleased with the way he’s come back, I’m not quite convinced yet with Cornet if he’s 100 per cent. Maybe, maybe, I don’t want to be leading one way or another.

"Maybe, he’s one of those ones we need to keeping an eye on it and Zouma is another one we will be looking at as well today and see how they all are. That’s probably what I’ve got on them at the moment."
