Michail Antonio and Aaron Cresswell injury updates as West Ham prepare for Sevilla clash

Michail Antonio and Aaron Cresswell face late fitness tests ahead of West Ham's Europa League last-16 clash with Sevilla. The two players went off injured against Aston Villa on Sunday and are both doubts for tomorrow's clash.

On Thursday morning at the Hammers training session, the two were spotted inside the gym but did not join the main group for the outdoor training session. However, both were on the training pitch separate from the main squad along with Nikola Vlasic taking part in individual sessions after gym work.

Jarrod Bowen is set to miss the tie with the attacker not involved in training and unavailable for the second leg against Sevilla and Tottenham on the weekend.

There was good news for West Ham with Vladimir Coufal out on the training pitch taking part in an individual session after his recent hernia operation. The Czech defender is looking at a return date of early April following the international break.

West Ham go into the clash 1-0 down from the first leg and will be keen to whip the crowd up and match the superb atmosphere at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan. The London Stadium is a sell out ahead of the tie and is sure to create a hostile environment for the visiting side.

"It was fantastic, England has a great tradition of supporters in the stadiums but the Sevilla supporters were terrific, really, really good. I think they drove their team on to the result tonight," Moyes said post-match.

"I am always looking for who does the best, we need to look at how well they did it here tonight. The crowd drove them on in the second half and got them over the line. We need our crowd to do the same and they will because we will give them something to shout about."
