Hammers missing key defender for trip to south coast
Emerson Palmieri will be suspended for West Ham’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth on Monday night.
The defender was booked during the 2-1 win over Wolves, taking his tally of yellow cards up to five for the season.
With the Italian international missing, Aaron Cresswell could come back into the starting lineup for the trip to the south coast.
The Hammers recorded a crucial win over Julen Lopetegui’s side on Monday but it will likely do little to silence those who doubt him after an underwhelming start to his tenure.
Michail Antonio is facing a significant period out of action after requiring surgery on a lower limb fracture sustained in a road traffic accident earlier this month.
West Ham predicted XI: Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Cresswell; Alvarez, Soucek; Kudus, Soler, Summerville, Bowen
Suspended: Emerson
Time and date: 8pm GMT on Monday 16 December 2024
Venue: Vitality Stadium (Dean Court)
