The eight players West Ham could be without versus West Brom as David Moyes confirms triple blow

David Moyes's injury problems have worsened with the news that midfielder Robert Snodgrass and full back Arthur Masuaku will not feature in West Ham United's FA Cup fourth-round tie against West Bromwich Albion at the London Stadium tomorrow because of knee injuries.

Angelo Ogbonna is a major doubt after falling on his back in the 4-1 midweek defeat to Leicester City, with first-choice players Lukasz Fabianski, Felipe Anderson and Ryan Fredericks already on the sidelines.

Jack Wilshere and Andriy Yarmolenko also remain out. 

"We picked up a couple of injuries in the game [vs Leicester]," Moyes said. "We've got injuries to Snodgrass and Arthur which I think will both rule them out of the game at the weekend. We're looking at Angelo, who fell heavily on his back. They are the ones we have difficulties with."

Snodgrass had an existing knee tendon flare up, while Masuaku has had fluid drained from his knees having come off at half-time away to Brendan Rodgers's side on Wednesday.

Asked if it is becoming difficult to juggle resources with the club also fighting a relegation battle in the Premier League, Moyes added: "I agree with that but we've not had lots of fixtures like other clubs.

"We're not in Europe, we're not in the Champions League. I wish we were but I don't see why we're too hard pushed. We're pushed because of numbers and injuries but I'd hate to think we couldn't play games Wednesday-Saturday, Wednesday-Saturday.

"That's part of football and you have to be able to do that."
