West Ham United manager David Moyes admits he is not concerned about any of his players potentially being charged or suspended after clashes with AZ Alkmaar fans following the Hammers’ Europa Conference League semi-final win.
The Hammers booked their place into next month’s final with a 1-0 second leg victory over Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion last Thursday, but ugly scenes emerged at full-time as a group of Alkmaar fans broke through a fence to attack the VIP and family area where many family members of the West Ham players and staff were.
On Saturday, a report from The Telegraph emerged that West Ham players Declan Rice, Flynn Downes, Michail Antonio, and Said Benrahma were all at risk of being charged by UEFA for their involvement in the incident.

However, it has been widely reported that should West Ham’s players receive any disciplinary action, it is likely that it will take place after the final against Fiorentina in Prague on June 7.
Asked about the report, Moyes, who has worked as part of UEFA as a match analyst, said he does not have any concerns over any potential ban.
“I can’t see any problem, to be honest,” said Moyes after Sunday’s 3-1 win over Leeds United. “I work with UEFA on the technical stuff and I don’t think we’ll have any questions asked about that, that’s my own opinion.”
As a result of the Alkmaar fans’ behaviour, the municipality of Nijmegen banned AZ from having away fans at their 3-0 win over NEC Nijmegen on Sunday.
