Julen Lopetegui addressed the media this afternoon ahead of West Ham United’s clash with Arsenal on Saturday.
West Ham are all set to welcome Arsenal to the London Stadium for the hugely important Premier League clash this weekend.
The Gunners have some big injury concerns for the game, whilst Niclas Fullkrug and Mohammed Kudus will definitely miss out for the Hammers.
Meanwhile, Jean-Clair Todibo is a doubt for West Ham as well.
Julen Lopetegui would have been delighted with his side’s display against Newcastle on Monday night.
The 2-0 win was a vital result for us, and the performance as a whole was outstanding.
Arsenal have looked very good in their last two games though, so we will undoubtedly be in for a tough match on Saturday.
A draw would be a great result for West Ham, with some very winnable games on the horizon for us up until Christmas.
Julen Lopetegui provides injury update ahead of Arsenal clash
The Hammers fans are buzzing for the visit of our London rivals on Saturday now.
Quite the change from the mood before the win over Newcastle.
However, it seems like we have a few injury problems to be concerned about.
Lopetegui told reporters how a few players will need to be assessed tomorrow, as quoted by WHUFC.com.
The Spaniard said, “The news is that we have two or three little problems we need to assess tomorrow. We have to wait to find out and know if they’ll be available.“
“I am positive that they can all be ready.“
I like his final sentence there.
All we can hope is that our key players are not the ones who are having trouble with niggling injuries.
West Ham are definitely capable of giving Arsenal a really good game this weekend, and Julen Lopetegui will be desperate for his team to record another statement win.
We will need all of our best players to be fit and raring to go in order for that to be possible though.
