West Ham XI vs Newcastle: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, latest injury updates for Premier League game

Angelo Ogbonna is a doubt for West Ham's Premier League opener at Newcastle, though David Moyes hopes to take a full squad to St. James' Park on Sunday.

The Italian defender sustained a hamstring injury during a pre-season game at Celtic but has returned to training ahead of the Hammers’ first game of the season.

Manuel Lanzini has also been struggling with a groin injury but should be given the all clear to feature on Sunday if called upon.

Speaking on Friday, Moyes said: " Angelo Ogbonna has the hamstring injury he picked up against Celtic, he is back in some sort of training. Lanzini has had a little bit of a groin problem.

"We’re hoping he will be okay as he is back in around it. In the main, we’ve got knocks and niggles but hopefully everybody will be okay."

West Ham predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals; Antonio
