Kalvin Phillips - Error causes goal in Hammers debut Phillips registered one shot (on goal) in Thursday's 1-1 draw with AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Phillips delivered a disappointing debut display Thursday. The new Manchester City loanee exhibited rustiness from a lack of EPL game time, prior to joining the Hammers he had made just two starts for the Citizens since joining them in August 2022. His second touch of the game was an underhit back-pass that was pounced upon by a sharp Dominic Solanke to put the ball in the back of the net. Overall, Phillips made no impact on the game, lost possession of the ball 12 times and was eventually subbed off after 68 minutes. It will take him time to adapt to David Moyes playing style and find rhythm with his new midfield partners.

Jarrod Bowen - Not at his best in draw with Cherries Bowen registered three shots (one on goal) and one cross (not accurate) in Thursday's 1-1 draw with AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 70th minute.
Impact Bowen was not at his most effective Thursday. He played in an upfront striking role but only managed to place one shot on goal. The England international has been in good form recently, scoring four and creating an assist from his last eight appearances. He has a good chance of improving on that in the Hammers next at Old Trafford. United have only kept one clean sheet in their last seven matches.

James Ward Prowse - Spot kick strike in draw Ward-Prowse scored from his only shot on goal (a penalty), He also placed five crosses (four accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 1-1 draw with AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Ward-Prowse was the Hammers key playmaker Thursday. He engaged in a number of critical interventions in midfield and as usual executed their set pieces. He did only manage to place one shot on goal, which was a well executed penalty strike. Apart from two spot kick conversions from his last two games it has been 12 appearances since he scored a goal in open play. He has a chance to improve that in the Hammers next against Manchester United. United have only kept one clean sheet in their last seven games.

Alphonse Areola - Concedes one in draw Areola registered three saves and allowed one goal in Thursday's 1-1 draw with AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Areola played his part Thursday, making three big saves and conceding a goal that was gifted to Bournemouth due to a defensive error. The Frenchman is in good form, he has delivered two clean sheets from his last four appearances. He will need to be on his toes for the Hammers next against Manchester United, they have found the net in each of their last six matches.

Nayef Aguerd - Back for weekend Aguerd (AFCON) is expected to return for Sunday's trip to Manchester United, according to manager David Moyes.
Impact Aguerd was eliminated from AFCON earlier in the week and is expected to make his way back to the club for the weekend. If he can't get on the training ground Saturday, he might not be deemed ready to start. Either way Aguerd should be back in contention for minutes after taking a major starting role prior to AFCON.

Vladimir Coufal - Ready for return Coufal is available to return for Sunday's trip to Manchester United after being sent off against Sheffield United.
Impact Coufal picked up the suspension after seeing a pair of yellow cards late during a two-all draw with Sheffield United. The right-back is now eligible for selection once more and should be back in the starting XI for Sunday's trip to Manchester. Ben Johnson will be back on the bench with Coufal ready to go.

Michail Antonio - Training on grass Antonio (knee) is training on grass, manager David Moyes announced Friday. "[Lucas Paqueta] won't be back this weekend and Michail Antonio is back running on the grass."
Impact Antonio is still recovering from a knee injury that has kept him out for more than a month. The forward is making steady progress and getting back on grass is a good sign overall. Still Antonio will need to get back in team training before any sort of match return is possible.

Alphonse Areola - Starting in net Areola (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Bournemouth.
Impact Areola will avoid missing any time after ending up on the injury report this week, having been given the start after healing from an undisclosed issue. The goalie should remain as the starter moving forward, as when he is healthy, he will always be their first option in net.

Edson Alvarez - Starts Thursday Alvarez (calf) is in the starting XI for Thursday's contest against Bournemouth.
Impact Alvarez is back on the team sheet Thursday, retruning to his spot within the starting XI. He has missed the club's past match against Sheffield United due to a calf issue, but will now hope to put his injury concerns behind him. WIth the midfielder being healthy, expect him to remain in the starting XI moving forward.

Nayef Aguerd - Hasn't returned yet Aguerd (not injury-related) is out for Thursday's contest against Bournemouth.
Impact Aguerd has yet to return from his international duties with Morocco following their elimination from AFCON, being out once again for West Ham. The defender should return by Sunday for their match against Manchester United, where he should return to his starting role in the center of the defense.

Nayef Aguerd - Set to return soon Aguerd (AFCON) is posied to rejoin the squad shortly with manager David Moyes telling reporters Wednesday, "I expect him to be back with the squad soon."
Impact Aguerd's status for Thursday's clash with Bournemouth remains up in the air despite Morocco having been just eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations. Moyes specifically mentioned Mohammed Kudus being back ahead of the matchup with the Cherries, so Aguerd should be considered a strong doubt.

Edson Alvarez - Progressing in recovery Alvarez (calf) continues to make strides in his recovery and could be an option versus Bournemouth on Thursday after manager David Moyes told reporters, "Edson Alvarez is doing muc...
Impact Alvarez has started all but two of his 21 Premier League and Europa League appearances this season. As such, the defensive midfielder should be in contention for regular appearances in the starting XI once given the all-clear. James Ward-Prowse figures to move into a more attacking role once Alvarez is back in the squad.

Alphonse Areola - Left off injury report Areola (undisclosed) was not included in manager David Moyes' injury update ahead of Thursday's matchup with Bournemouth. Moyes told reporters, "Updates on injuries - there's nothi...
Impact Areola has returned to the starting XI, featuring in four straight matches after dealing with a wrist problem. If the keeper is unable to play, veteran Lukasz Fabianski is more than capable of stepping between the sticks, though Areola remains the first choice when healthy.

Mohammed Kudus - In contention Thursday Kudus (AFCON) is back with the team and will be available versus Bournemouth on Thursday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Mo Kudus is back from AFCON, which is good."
Impact Kudus had made seven straight starts prior to leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations, so he should be in the mix to reclaim his spot on the pitch versus the Cherries. In those outings, the forward scored five goals on 14 shots (six on target) while adding 21 crosses (five accurate). Danny Ings will likely find himself back on the bench with Kudus returning to action.

Edson Alvarez - Working on pitch Alvarez (calf) was pictured working on the pitch ahead of Thursday's match against Bournemouth.
Impact Alvarez has been a surprise absence the last couple matches, as his calf injury came out of nowhere. However, it looks like it was minor and he could return to the XI as soon as Thursday. While he figures to remain a lock for the starting XI, that's no longer guaranteed following the addition of Kalvin Phillips for the rest of the season.
