West Ham United have been handed a boost ahead of their Europa Conference League play-off first-leg on Thursday, with opponents Viborg missing two of their key men... thanks to Brexit.
The Hammers take on the Danish club as they look to reach the group stage of the competition, with David Moyes' side trying to progress far in another European tournament after last season's Europa League run. But their opponents have been dealt a hammer blow, with Ibrahim Said and Alassana Jatta unable to travel due to the English entry rules for non-EU citizens after Brexit.
The Danes have been unable to get a visa for either player. Said has started the majority of Viborg's matches so far this season and would have likely started for the Superligaen club, while Jatta has made two substitute appearances so far this campaign.
