Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Off with Congo Wan-Bissaka has been called up by the DR of Congo for AFCON and is unavailable for the next few weeks.

Impact Wan-Bissaka is going to leave a gap in the team for West Ham over the next couple of weeks, as the defender is serving at AFCON. Unfortunately for the club, this will mean they are without their starting right-back, leaving a hole to be filled. That said, Kyle Walker-Peters will likely earn more time while he is out, with Wan-Bissaka likely to return mid-January, depending on his national team's results.

El Hadji Malick Diouf - Off to AFCON Diouf is headed to AFCON and will miss at least three weeks with Senegal.

Impact Diouf has been the unquestioned starter at left-back throughout the season, and is now set to leave them short-handed. Oliver Scarles is the obvious choice to slot in at left wing-back while Diouf is away from the team. The defender should be back in early-to-mid January. He has three assists in 16 appearances (15 starts) since joining West Ham.

Oliver Scarles - Bench option Scarles (collarbone) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Scarles was deemed an option for Sunday ahead of match time and is on the team sheet, earning a bench spot after overcoming a broken collarbone. He started in two of his eight appearances before the injury and will likely remain in a rotational role, but should work into more minutes after starting to earn time just before his injury.

Impact Scarles was back in parts of group training last week but has fully joined the team this week, set to make his return after over a month out with a dislocated shoulder. This is great news for the defender after earning his first two starts of the season just before the injury, as he was starting to see time. He hopes to work back into time moving forward, especially with absences due to AFCoN, as he mainly went unused through the first two months of the campaign.
