We don't think it is very serious, Arne Slot said after the game. He felt his back too much during the warm-up to start. He wasn't able to be 100 per cent or close to 100 per cent. So, we decided not to play him, but hope and expect him to be with us next week.

The Canada international was a prolific scorer at former club Lille but hasn't made the smoothest start to life at Juve, scoring only seven goals in 34 games so far. West Ham could have been a good option for David, and at one point he thought he was on his way to the Hammers, according to Claret and Hugh. Still, it seems there was some uncertainty about whether or not David suited the team's style of play, and it led to the deal collapsing.

In 2016, West Ham United played at Upton Park for the final time. They hosted Manchester United in May of that year, and looked to be heading for defeat when Anthony Martial notched a second-half brace in just over 20 minutes, but came back to win 3-2. Those three Hammers scorers will remain nameless for now, as we want you to name West Ham's starting line-up from that game. We've given you the positions, and a hint on how long each name is.

They played much better, but we have to manage it much better, even because we know we were 2-0 up, and we just need to win this game, Soucek said. We have to go for counter-attacks again as to score a third goal would be important, but we can't concede three goals, because it's sometimes too easy. That's the mentality we should have [to score a third goal], because the best defence is to attack, so that's what we want, but sometimes when we are winning we go too much to defence, and then they create the chances and we didn't manage that.

West Ham United crashed to a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea in the Premier League and manager Nuno Espirito Santo has now admitted that the approach did not work out. West Ham employed a high-pressing style of football against Chelsea and did reasonably well until the hour mark. However, fatigue crept in during the second half, and West Ham eventually lost their spark.

Lucas has made it clear that, for personal and family reasons, he wishes to return home to Brazil and make a fresh start after being cleared in July 2025 of FA misconduct charges that took two years to be resolved - a situation that caused him significant mental strain. Despite the club doing everything possible to persuade Lucas to stay, he has remained adamant that his wish is to leave.
