West Ham United have been dealt with a sickness bug sweeping through the squad ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United.
The Hammers saw captain Declan Rice, centre-back Nayef Aguerd and midfielder Tomas Soucek all withdraw from the squad just hours before West Ham’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City on Wednesday night, with manager David Moyes naming just 18 senior players for the game. The same illness also affected one member of staff ahead of the game.
While all three have trained on Friday ahead of facing Man United on Sunday, Moyes did confirm that one player was sent home from training on Friday morning, while another was also struggling with the illness.
