Full West Ham squad available for Europa Conference League tie vs AZ Alkmaar as duo eye returns

West Ham United manager David Moyes could welcome two players for the Hammers’ Europa Conference League semi-final second leg against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday.

The Hammers will be looking to seal their place of a European competition for the first time since 1976 when they take on the Cheeseheads, heading into the AFAS Stadion clash 2-1 up after the first leg tie a week ago.

Ahead of the game, Moyes said that two of his players, who have recently been injured, are set to return to action.

Striker Michail Antonio, who scored the winning goal in the first leg, missed Sunday’s Premier League defeat to Brentford with a calf issue. Moyes has confirmed that the Jamaican international has travelled with the squad.

Like Antonio, right-back Vladimir Coufal, who has missed the Hammers’ last three matches with a hamstring issue, has also travelled, meaning he could be involved.

Striker Gianluca Scamacca is likely to miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery last month.

With Scamacca absent, teenage striker Divin Mubama has travelled to the Netherlands for the tie, having played for 32 minutes against the Bees on Sunday.

Here is a look at who could feature for the Hammers against AZ Alkmaar..
