Impact Dawson got off to the perfect start with his new club, scoring early and earning a clean sheet in his first match. The center-back couldn't have dreamed of a better start, though this offensive upside is almost certainly the outlier, not the norm. Dawson seems to be an immediate part of the Wolves starting setup.

In lineup against Manchester United Dawson (undisclosed) made the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Manchester United.
Impact Dawson is back after missing three consecutive matches due to injury. With he, Thilo Kehrer and Kurt Zouma all starting, the defensive unit is looking stronger for the Hammers.

Still working on fitness Dawson (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's UECL match against Silkeborg and will be "touch and go" for Sunday's trip to Manchester United, according to manager David Moyes.
Impact Dawson seems to be progressing in his recovery as the comments from his manager have started to lean into his potential return. With just two starts made all season, Dawson's fitness has been a concern but Thilo Kehrer and Kurt Zouma have done well at center-back in recent weeks.

Unavailable versus Cherries Dawson (undisclosed) will be sidelined for Monday's matchup with Bournemouth.
Impact Dawson will be out of the squad for his third consecutive contest due to his undisclosed injury. In his two outings this year, the central defender registered four tackles (three won) and three clearances. Once cleared to play, Dawson should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI.

Hopeful for Monday Dawson (undisclosed) was mentioned as hopeful by manager David Moyes ahead of Monday's match against Bournemouth.
Impact Dawson has missed the last two matches with what was originally called a "dead leg," and there hasn't been a further update on his status. At this point, it's assumed he'll be out again Monday given the lack of information. Then again, Moyes isn't the best on injury updates and Dawson could start. Kurt Zouma and Thilo Kehrer started at center-back in the most recent contest.

Remains doubt midweek Dawson (undisclosed) is a doubt for Wednesday's trip to Liverpool, according to manager David Moyes. "Dawson we're not sure about, so not much change from where we were on Sunday."
Impact What was originally deemed a "dead leg" could now force Dawson to miss two league matches, something that wasn't in the plans for Moyes. With Kurt Zouma also a doubt, West Ham could use the same back line as last match which featured Ben Johnson and Thilo Kehrer as the starting center-backs, something that may not work against Liverpool.

Out Sunday Dawson (undisclosed) didn't make the squad list for Sunday's match against Southampton.
Impact Dawson was dealing with a dead leg taken in Thursday's UECL match and couldn't recover in time to play against the Saints. In his place, Thilo Kehrer shifts to center-back while Vladimir Coufal is slotted in on the right.

Late test Sunday Dawson (undisclosed) is considered a late test for Sunday's trip to Southampton, according to manager David Moyes. "Daws had a dead leg anyway and I think he got another one tonigh...
Impact Dawson was forced off in the 75th minute of Thursday's UECL match and he doesn't have much time to recover ahead of Sunday. If he's out, that'd likely mean a return to center-back for Thilo Kehrer, meaning Vladimir Coufal would return at right-back after only playing in UECL in recent weeks.

Comes off injured Dawson (undisclosed) came off with an injury during Thursday's Conference League clash with Anderlecht.
Impact Dawson went straight down the tunnel after coming off. The defender was originally brought off the bench to replace the injured Angelo Ogbonna. With both Ogbonna and Dawson injured the West Ham back line could be left with nearly no depth. The extent of either injury are unclear before a Sunday trip to Southampton.

Out against Brighton Dawson (thigh) will miss Sunday's match against Brighton.

Not far from return Dawson (thigh) is "not too far away now" ahead of Sunday's match against Brighton, according to manager David Moyes.
Impact This isn't much of an update on Dawson, but it doesn't appear like he'll be ready to play Sunday. Ben Johnson continues to feature at center-back, though new signing Thilo Kehrer could soon be in the starting XI, depending on his fitness level ahead of Sunday's match.

Still not training Dawson (thigh) still isn't training ahead of Thursday's UECL match, according to assistant manager Billy McKinlay. "He's probably a little bit [sidelined] short-term."
Impact This all but points to Dawson not being ready Sunday unless he can train later in the week. He's already been out multiple weeks and will need time on the pitch before he's given a start despite "doing quite well" a week ago. Ben Johnson could continue at center-back or new signing Thilo Kehrer could be an option if deemed ready.

Misses out Sunday Dawson (thigh) didn't make the match day roster for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest.
Impact Dawson missed the first game of the season against Manchester City and though it was possible to return, he didn't finish the week available to play. Ben Johnson will get another start Sunday and Dawson should be close to starting after another week back in training.

Could be option Sunday Dawson (thigh) is "doing quite well" and could be an option Sunday at Nottingham Forest, according to manager David Moyes.
Impact Dawson has a chance to start Sunday if all is well, but there wasn't a ton of information in this update. It's unknown how long he's had the injury and that plays into his availability, as well. If truly fit, he'll start at center-back Sunday and if not, Ben Johnson would likely start centrally again.

Misses opener with injury Dawson was not involved in Sunday's defeat against Manchester City due to an injury, West Ham manager David Moyes told Jonty Colman of Football.london after the match.
Impact Dawson started 30 Premier League matches in central defense last season for West Ham, but he wasn't fit enough to make the squad for the 2021/22 opener on Sunday. With Angelo Ogbonna (knee) also injured, Kurt Zouma and Ben Johnson were the center-back pairing against City.
