French goalkeeper Alphonse Areola has only made two substitute appearances in the Premier League this season but will be going to the World Cup with France.

The former Paris Saint-Germain man has started in all 13 of the Hammers’ Premier League matches since his £10.1million move to the London Stadium.
Kehrer has been a regular for Germany in recent times, with his versatility seeing him play at right-back, centre-back, and left-back.

Moroccan centre-back Nayef Aguerd is one of two West Ham players in Group B, alongside forward Nikola Vlasic, who is currently out on loan at Torino.
The two face each other in Group F’s opening round of matches, with Aguerd going into that game, with it being only 11 days after making his Premier League debut against Leicester City on Saturday.

While West Ham fans have not seen a lot of forward Vlasic this season, they will get to see him in action as part of Croatia’s squad at the World Cup.
