Impact Alvarez is going to be sidelined for Saturday's contest, as the midfielder is once again dealing with a back injury after also missing out last week. This is a tough loss for the club, as he is a useful option in the middle of the pitch, with Carlos Soler and James Ward-Prowse likely to take over the role at defensive midfielder with Alvarez out. He is hopeful for a return next week when facing Tottenham on May 4.

Sits on bench after being ill Alvarez stayed on the bench in Saturday's match against Everton after being ill during the week.

Impact Alvarez had started the prior four matches, but he was removed for Lucas Paqueta in the XI on Saturday. While Graham Potter has used an overly defensive approach in recent matches, Alvarez had been subbed off before the 70th minute in his last two starts and with Paqueta healthy again, he may not be guaranteed to start going forward.

Option for Saturday Alvarez (strain) is an option for Saturday's match against Brentford, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Alvarez looks to be back in the fold for Saturday after time out due to a strain, with the midfielder having trained this week. This is solid news for the club after he missed their last match due to a strain, but he appears to have overcome that injury. He is a regular starter, starting in 15 of his 20 appearances, so he will hope to see the start if fit Saturday.

Misses out Monday Alvarez was out of Monday's 2-1 loss to Chelsea due to an apparent injury.

Impact Alvarez is on the sidelines for the time being, with the midfielder suffering an injury ahead of Monday's match. Early reports appear to date to a muscle injury but that is yet to be confirmed, with the club giving little on the situation. He will hope this is only a minor absence, as he is a regular starter, starting in 15 of his 20 appearances this season.

Impact Alvarez accurately placed a cross on the forehead of his teammate midway through the second half Sunday to level to do his part in leveling the fixture at one. The central midfielder also produced a team-high six tackles (three won), one clearance and one block over his 89 minutes of play. The assist marked Alvarez's first Premier League goal contribution this season over 19 appearances (14 starts).

Back from ban Alvarez has cleared his suspension and is an option for the club moving forward.

Impact Alvarez is back in the fold after picking up a suspension, with the midfielder serving his one-match ban. He is now an option moving forward, making him available to face Arsenal on Saturday. He is a regular starter when fit, so he will hope to see the start next match now that he is an option.

Sent off Saturday Alvarez was shown a second yellow card and sent off during Saturday's clash with Nottingham Forest.

Impact Alvarez was minutes from halftime before he was shown a second yellow card and sent off. The midfielder is now going to serve a one-game ban against Everton, meaning he won't be back in Premier League action until after the international break. Guido Rodriguez will likely play as a lone holding midfielder in the clash with Everton.

Option again Alvarez is an option again after serving his one-match suspension.

Impact Alvarez is no longer suspended, having cleared that tag after sitting out against Brentford on Saturday, leaving him as an option for Saturday's match against Ipswich. He had started in his past three appearances ahead of his suspension and should return to that role now that he is available again.

Sees red in Carabao Cup Alvarez was sent off in the 76th minute of Wednesday's 5-1 Carabao Cup loss to Liverpool and has received a one-match suspension.

Impact Alvarez will be heading to the sidelines for a match following his sending off Wednesday. This will force him to miss Saturday's match against Brentford. He has started in their past three matches, so this will force a change, with either Vladimir Coufal or Tomas Soucek taking his spot. Alvarez will next be available to face Ipswich Town on Oct. 5.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns against Crystal Palace Alvarez returned as a substitute during Saturday's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Alvarez entered the match in the 78th minute playing the final 12 minutes plus stoppage time. The midfielder returned from a hamstring injury suffered during Copa America and will likely return to a starting role in midfield for the Hammers once fully fit.

Progressing well Alvarez (hamstring) has been "progressing well", but will not be an option for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Julen Lopetegui.

Impact Alvarez is making steady progress in his recovery from a serious hamstring injury suffering over the summer. He is not yet ready to return to Premier League action yet, but he is aiming for a return at some point in September. In the meantime, new signing Guido Rodriguez will continue to start in the defensive midfield during his absence.

Trains individually Alvarez (hamstring) has been training individually ahead of Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Alvarez suffered a pretty serious hamstring injury that forced him to withdraw from the Copa America tournament at the end of June. It was a good sign to see the midfielder back on the pitch and training on the grass alone. Though it is unlikely that he will return for the opener against Aston Villa, he could see a come back before the end of August, depending on his progress.

Serves well as holding-midfielder Alvarez appeared in 31 games (28 starts), registering one goal on 17 shots and one assist on 12 chances created.

Impact Alvarez was brought in to act as a holding-midfielder in the highly defensive tactics of David Moyes, and that was exactly what he did, not being all that great in the attack with his two-goal contributions but providing greatly in the defense with his 42 interceptions, 70 clearances and 80 tackles. This was his first season with the club, and he has four years remaining on his contract despite rumors of a possible move this summer, though it could happen if interested clubs meet West Ham's demands after a disappointing year.
