West Ham United manager David Moyes has said that Thursday night’s Europa Conference League semi-final first leg against AZ Alkmaar is likely to come too soon for centre-back Kurt Zouma to feature in.
Having suffered an ankle injury in last month’s defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League, the French defender has missed the Hammers ’ last two matches against Manchester City and Manchester United.
However, having initially been set to be missing for “a few weeks,” Zouma returned to training on Tuesday and also trained with the squad on Wednesday ahead of their semi-final first leg against the Dutch side.
