Michail Antonio - Leading the line Sunday Antonio is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Antonio has recovered from a groin injury which kept him out of mid week action against Freiburg. The forward will lead the line for West Ham on Sunday having scored twice and provided an assist in eight appearances.

Michail Antonio - Doubt to face Newcastle Antonio (groin) has yet to train with the team this week ahead of Sunday's match against Newcastle, according to manager David Moyes. "He has done some running with the medical tea...

Impact Antonio wasn't with the team in Germany, so he couldn't train with the team, so this isn't much of a new update on him. There's a chance he's completely fine and trains the next two days, but that's hard to project given the comments from Moyes. If Antonio can't start Sunday, it could again be Jarrod Bowen as a false nine with Mohammed Kudus on the right wing instead of swapping in Danny Ings as the striker.

Mohammed Kudus - Creative in win Kudus created two chances and took two shots (one on goal) during Thursday's 2-1 win over Freiburg.

Impact Kudus made just his second start for the Hammers and impressed. He didn't get back on the scoresheet but he did create a nice pair of chances and seemed a consistent threat down the right flank. The question at the moment is if Kudus has done enough to earn any more Premier League minutes.

Ben Johnson - Won't play Thursday Johnson (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's Europa League matchup with SC Freiburg.

Impact Considering Johnson has yet to log any minutes in Premier League or Europa League action, his absence likely had minimal impact on the starting XI. Even once cleared to play, the defender figures to serve primarily as a bench option, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Johnson - In doubt Thursday Johnson picked up a knock and will be a doubt against SC Freiburg on Thursday after manager David Moyes told reporters, "Ben Johnson has picked up a little injury as well."

Impact Johnson's only appearance for the club this season came in the Carabao Cup matchup with Lincoln City, so his potential absence will have little impact on the starting XI for Thursday's tilt.

Michail Antonio - Ruled out versus Freiburg Antonio is dealing with an undisclosed injury that will sideline him versus SC Freiburg on Thursday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Michail hasn't traveled. He has an injury....

Impact It's hardly the most informative update on Antonio's status, so fantasy players should probably consider him a doubt, at best, to play against Newcastle United on Sunday. The forward has started seven of his eight appearances for the club this season, in which he recorded two goals on nine shots (four on target), one assist and six crosses (zero accurate), but was left on the bench for the previous UEL matchup. As such, Antonio may not have started Thursday's matchup regardless. Danny Ings figures to be in line for Antonio's spot in the starting XI if needed.

Aaron Cresswell - Won't be option Thursday Cresswell (hamstring) will be unavailable versus SC Freiburg on Thursday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Aaron Cresswell is still out."

Impact Cresswell will be shelved for his third straight match due to his lingering hamstring problem. Considering the quick turnaround, the defender almost certainly won't be in contention for Sunday's clash with Newcastle and figures to use the international break to get back to 100 percent. Even once cleared to play, Cresswell was an unused substitute five times this season and will be a long shot to break into the starting XI.

Michail Antonio - Provides assist in win Antonio assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Sheffield United.

Impact Antonio recorded his first assist of the season in the 37th minute as he received the ball on the edge of the box and set up Tomas Soucek with a through ball.

Additionally, the midfielder equaled his season-high with six shots taken.

Impact Cresswell is progressing well from his hamstring injury, but it's too soon for him to return Saturday. He made just one start this season in Europa League play, playing just 45 minutes before coming off with injury. Emerson is still expected to get the start at left back, even when the defender returns to the squad.

Alphonse Areola - Concedes three again Areola recorded four saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-1 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Areola was on the wrong side of three goals once more, this time against Liverpool. The good news is he got matches against Manchester City and Liverpool out of the way, meaning any matches moving forward will be more favorable. In six matches Areola has made 20 saves and conceded 10 goals, though six of those goals came in the last two matches.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vladimir Coufal - Assists again Coufal assisted once to go with five crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-1 loss versus Liverpool.

Impact Coufal provided an assist for a second Premier League match in a row, setting up Jarrod Bowen for the equalizer. The comeback couldn't be completed in the second half but Coufal did well throughout the match creating a season-high two chances and sending in five crosses from his role at right-back.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jarrod Bowen - Nets in loss Bowen scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Bowen didn't come away with the win Sunday but he did get back on the scoresheet for his fourth goal in six games. The winger is off to an excellent start in the Premier League and is on pace to match some of his best seasons with five goal contributions in six matches. The West Ham attack flows through Bowen and he has been extremely efficient with those chances in the early stages.
