Michail Antonio misses West Ham’s Europa Conference League clash with Anderlecht tonight due to illness.
The striker, who came off the bench to score in the Hammers’ win over Fulham on Sunday, has had to miss training over the past few days after falling ill.
As a result, West Ham manager David Moyes was unsure if Antonio will be able to play against Anderlecht at home on Thursday and it has now been confirmed he will miss it.

“I think most of the players are fine,” said Moyes on Wednesday afternoon.
“Michail Antonio has had a wee bit of a cold or the flu maybe, whatever it is, which has kept him out of training a day or two. So we are a little bit unsure on him.
“We have got a couple of knocks and niggles, but hopefully we will be okay.”
Moyes has rotated his side regularly in the Europa Conference League this season and he confirmed on Wednesday he will continue to do so.
West Ham are currently top of Group B and, if they beat Anderlecht and Silkeborg fail to defeat FCSB, then the Hammers will qualify for the last-16 with two games to spare.
Starting West Ham XI (3-4-3): Areola; Coufal, Johnson, Ogbonna; Cresswell, Downes, Lanzini, Emerson; Benrahma, Paqueta, Bowen.
