'I am hoping' - West Ham David Moyes provides Angelo Ogbonna update ahead of Brentford tie

David Moyes has confirmed Angelo Ogbonna remains a doubt ahead of West Ham United's fixture vs Brentford on Sunday.

The Hammers head into the fixture at the Gtech Community Stadium on the back of Thursday night's 2-1 vs Az Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa Conference League semi-final first leg.

With Premier League survival all but secured after last week's 1-0 win over Manchester United, leaving West Ham seven points clear of the relegation zone with three games remaining, Moyes will be looking to finish the season as strong as possible.

With Kurt Zouma returning to injury following an ankle injury sustained against Crystal Palace last month, the Scottish manager is now down another centreback with Ogbonna 'not feeling great' on Friday morning - the Italian also missing the win on Thursday night.

"I am not sure yet," said Moyes when asked about Ogbonna. "He has come in this morning and is not feeling great. We will have to see how he is. The sickness was a real blow for us before the Man City game and it has just stayed about. I am hoping Angelo will be OK."

Gianluca Scamacca remains a long-term absence after the Italian striker underwent knee surgery in April, while Vladimir Coufal recovers from a hamstring injury sustained against current league leaders Man City last month.
