Danny Ings, Maxwel Cornet, Gianluca Scamacca - West Ham injury latest ahead of Derby County tie

West Ham United will be looking to book their place into the FA Cup’s fifth round on Monday night they head to Derby County,

On Saturday, West Ham moved out of the relegation zone in the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Everton and will look to pick up back-to-back wins in all competitions for the first time since the end of October when they face League One side Derby.

Ahead of the Pride Park clash, here is a look at West Ham’s current list of absentees.

Maxwel Cornet (calf)

Having returned to training with the rest of the group at the end of November, winger Maxwel Cornet has suffered another setback on his return to action.

Having not featured since making his full Premier League debut for West Ham on October 1, has been out of action for over three months, with Moyes still unsure of when Cornet will return fully.

Ahead of losing at Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this month, Moyes said: “He’s in France, he’s getting rehabilitated there at the moment, he’s had his injections. I don’t know what else I can say, we’re just waiting on that. I don’t think he’s going to pop up tomorrow or next week at the moment, but he’s had injections to try and free up where he’s got a tightness in his calf.”

Gianluca Scamacca (knee)

Striker Gianluca Scamacca is currently on the treatment table after suffering a knee injury.

The Italian, who is the club’s joint-top scorer this season in all competitions with seven goals, missed the FA Cup win at Brentford earlier this month after sustaining the issue at Leeds United three days earlier. Scamacca did return for the trip to Wolves and came off the bench, but was absent in the win over Everton and is set for a short spell out.

Ahead of beating Everton, Moyes said: “He has to take some PRP injections in his knee and it will be three weeks of injections in his knee. I don’t know when that means he is back. I just know that is the course of action.”

Danny Ings (knee)

New £12million signing Danny Ings made his Hammers debut in Saturday’s win over Everton, playing the final 18 minutes of the 2-0 victory. However, in the game football.london understands that Ings suffered a knee injury and is set for a short spell on the sidelines.

Due to playing the FA Cup for Aston Villa earlier this month, he was already ineligible to play against Derby. However, his injury is set to rule him out of next month’s meetings with Newcastle United and Chelsea. There is hope that he will be back in time to face either Tottenham Hotspur or Nottingham Forest in the second half of February.
