West Ham United manager David Moyes has revealed that midfield duo Pablo Fornals and Manuel Lanzini both chose to play against FCSB, despite having the choice to stay in England.
For the Hammers’ 3-0 win on FCSB on Thursday night, just ten senior players travelled to Romania for the game. Spaniard Fornals scored in both halves, either side of a Joyskim Dawa own goal to ensure West Ham became the first side ever to win all six group games in a Europa Conference League campaign.
With less than a full side of senior players travelling, there were full debuts for 16-year-old left-back Ollie Scarles and 18-year-old striker Divin Mubama, with fellow youngsters Kaelan Casey and Kamarai Swyer both coming off the bench to make their senior debuts.
