Full West Ham squad available for Europa Conference League tie vs Silkeborg as Aguerd returns

West Ham United could see £30million summer signing Nayef Aguerd make his debut against Silkeborg on Thursday night in the Europa Conference League.

The Hammers have not seen Moroccan international Aguerd in action since July when featuring in pre-season shortly after his big-money move from Stade Rennais, but after featuring in pre-season against Reading and Rangers, has spent over three months out of action with an ankle injury that required surgery.

It is unlikely that he will start, having not made an appearance since the summer for club or country.

Winger Maxwel Cornet will miss out after suffering a fresh setback in his recovery from a calf issue that has seen him miss the last six matches in all competitions.

Centre-back Craig Dawson and midfielder Lucas Paqueta remain out with respective leg and collarbone injuries, with both unlikely to make the trip to Manchester United on Sunday.

While it was not discussed in the pre-match press conference, winger Jarrod Bowen was not seen in open training on Wednesday afternoon, making him a doubt for the game.

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