Impact Cornet seems to be in line to make the squad for the first time in almost six weeks, as he's been ramping up the activity in his recovery process following the hamstring injury he picked up in training during February. Cornet has one goal across 10 appearances between the Premier League and the UEFA Europa League this season.

Nayef Aguerd - Doubtful to play Saturday Aguerd returned from international duty but is a doubt to face Newcastle on Saturday, manager David Moyes told media Friday. "Overall, we're pretty much fine, but we've just got qu...

Impact It doesn't sound as if Aguerd is dealing with an injury, but the coaching and medical staff are being extra cautious with him, as the defender played for Morocco against Angola and Mauritania, going the full 90 in both contests. Assuming there are no last-minute problems, Aguerd should start for the Hammers against the Magpies this weekend.

Impact Paqueta played for Brazil in the games against England and Spain, and the Hammers' playmaker bagged a penalty in the draw in the latter contest. It doesn't sound as if Paqueta is dealing with an injury, but the coaching and medical staff are being extra cautious with him to avoid a potential muscular problem in the stretch run of the campaign, especially with the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals right around the corner.

Michail Antonio - Withdraws from national team Antonio will return to West Ham after picking up an injury with the Jamaican national team.

Impact Antonio is expected to use the extra week to recover from a minor injury picked up while with the Jamaican national team. He had just returned from a knee injury that kept him out for two months, starting three of the seven matches played since coming back, scoring once with seven shots (two on target) and none crosses (one accurate) in that span.

Jarrod Bowen - Active display versus Aston Villa Bowen created three chances, sent in six crosses (two accurate) and made three tackles (two won) during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Bowen was one of his team's biggest sources of playmaking here, pacing them in both key passes and crosses and generating a lot of action from the right flank. Despite not scoring or assisting over his last three EPL appearances, the winger is still one of the Hammers' biggest hopes up front as his 14 league goals in 28 matches are already a career-high.

Lucas Paqueta - Takes four shots in draw Paqueta had four shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and suffered two fouls during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Paqueta couldn't extend his scoring streak to three games in all competitions but it wasn't for lack of trying and the attacker was once again one of his side's biggest threats, pacing the Hammers in shots attempted. Paqueta has been playing great since the beginning of the campaign and his status at West Ham couldn't be much higher than it is right now. However, his fantasy numbers still look a little bit disappointing if we compare them to what he did at Ligue 1 while playing for Lyon.

Alphonse Areola - Makes four saves in draw Areola made four saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Areola displayed his usual safety between the posts, making at least four saves for the fifth time over the last six starts and looked on the verge of keeping his first clean sheet since Jan. 2. However, there came Nicolo Zaniolo to ruin his plans with a well-placed one-timed off a pass from the right to beat him and seal the 1-1 draw. Despite not being able to shut the opposition down a lot of times, Areola has still been one of EPL's top statistical performers as his 110 saves over 26 starts put him in second place among all EPL goalkeepers.

Vladimir Coufal - Delivers assist in draw Coufal made an assist, had two shots (one on target) and sent in four crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Coufal was once again a great source of offense from the right flank, going up the field whenever given room and delivering some dangerous crosses, including the one that was headed home by Michail Antonio for the opening goal of the game. This was the seventh assist of the campaign for the right-back, who already tied his best mark in the category since joining the Hammers in 2020.

Michail Antonio - Scores against Aston Villa Antonio scored a goal off two shots (both on target) and created one chance during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Antonio made consecutive starts for the first time since recovering from the knee injury suffered in November and performed way better than he did on the previous match and that included opening the scoring for the Hammers with a header off a cross from the right just before the half-hour mark. This was just the third goal of the season and the first since Matchday 3 back in August for the striker, who will hope this is a sign of better things to come.
