Vladimir Coufal - Comes off with bloodied knee Coufal came off with a bloody knee during the second half of Wednesday's clash with Leeds.

Impact Coufal was caught by a nasty tackle and came off limping with a bleeding knee. The defender was replaced by Aaron Cresswell, who was being rotated Wednesday during a busy portion of the schedule. Coufal's next chance for Premier League action is a Jan. 14 trip to Wolves.

Michail Antonio - Bench option versus Leeds Antonio (illness) will be on the bench against Leeds United on Wednesday.

Impact Antonio has featured just once in the team's last 10 contests, so his absence from the starting XI shouldn't come as a surprise. Unless he can get onto the pitch with more consistency, Antonio shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Maxwel Cornet - Out again Wednesday Cornet (calf) was left out of the match-day squad versus Leeds United on Wednesday.

Impact Cornet will be unavailable for his 10th consecutive match due to his lingering calf problem. At this point, the forward should probably be considered out indefinitely. Even once fit, Cornet has started just once in five appearances and was a healthy scratch for another two contests.

Nayef Aguerd - Could be option Wednesday Aguerd "is getting himself back ready and is under serious consideration" for Wednesday's match at Leeds, according to manager David Moyes.

Impact Aguerd was on the bench last match and appears ready to start again. But while he was a regular for Morocco in the World Cup, he's made just one appearance for West Ham this season because of injury, so he's not an automatic start just yet. But given some recent results, it wouldn't be surprising to see him in the starting XI shortly.

Michail Antonio - Dealing with illness Antonio "has a bit of an illness" ahead of Wednesday's trip to Leeds, according to manager David Moyes.

Impact Antonio isn't expected to start Wednesday with Gianluca Scamacca again an option up front. While Antonio had some moments of brilliance early last season, he's failed to replicate that form since and his role for the Hammers is slowly fading unless he can start scoring. At this point, when healthy, Scamacca is the No. 1 striker for West Ham.

Kurt Zouma - Remains unavilable Zouma (knee) remains unavailable for the near future, according to manager David Moyes. "Kurt is doing OK, but he's not available for this game."

Impact Zouma underwent surgery in November on his knee and probably has a few weeks before he has any chance of returning for West Ham. Once he can get on the pitch and in training, it'll likely take him a week or two before he can make a squad.

Gianluca Scamacca - Attempts three shots Scamacca generated three shots (two on goal) in Friday's 2-0 loss against Brentford.

Impact Scamacca couldn't find the back of the net, but in a game where West Ham attacked constantly, Scamacca was one of the team's biggest threats. The Italian has failed to find the back of the net in seven league games, and he will try to snap that drought when the Hammers take on Leeds United on Jan. 4.

DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jarrod Bowen - Active as creative threat in loss Bowen had four shots (one on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Friday's 2-0 defeat to Brentford.

Impact Bowen is used to playing on the right wing, but he was deployed in a central, deeper role this time around, and while West Ham couldn't get the win, Bowen was active and looked comfortable as a focal point of the team's offense. Bowen has gone eight straight matches without a goal or assist, and the speedy forward will try to snap that drought when the Hammers take on Leeds United on Jan. 4.

DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lukasz Fabianski - Concedes two goals Friday Fabianski recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-0 loss to Brentford.

Impact Fabianski didn't have a lot of work but was unable to do anything on the two goals he conceded -- the first one was a rebound that fell to Ivan Toney when he was beaten, and the second one was a one-on-one situation against Josh Dasilva. Fabianski will try to bounce back when the Hammers take on Leeds United on Wednesday.

Maxwel Cornet - Ruled out Friday Cornet (calf) will miss Friday's clash with Brentford.

Impact Cornet will be out of action for his ninth consecutive contest due to his lingering calf issue. Even once cleared to play, the forward could struggle to secure regular minutes for the club considering he has made just one start in five appearances.

Nayef Aguerd - Makes bench versus Brentford Aguerd (groin) will be available as a substitute against Brentford on Friday.

Impact Aguerd continues to work his way back to full match fitness, having missed the opening three months of the season. As such, it could be a few matches before the defender gets a crack at breaking into the starting XI, though a busy schedule could open the door for Aguerd to get some minutes. In the meantime, Craig Dawson and Angelo Ogbonna will maintain the backline for the Hammers.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Scamacca - Starting Friday Scamacca (ankle) was named to the starting XI versus Brentford on Friday.

Impact Scamacca returns having missed the first match back from the World Cup break due to his ankle problem. Prior to the break, the forward had started eight straight matches in which he recorded two goals on 23 shots (six on target) and 10 chances created. With Scamacca seemingly fit, he should offer decent top-end fantasy value, though his production outside of goals is somewhat limited.

Nayef Aguerd - Doubtful against Brentford Aguerd (groin) has been dealing with an illness in addition to his injury concerns, making him a doubt versus Brentford on Friday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Nayef is sti...

Impact Aguerd made just one appearance for the club before leaving for the World Cup and now appears to have picked up another injury concern coming out of the international tournament. If he can ever manage to get healthy, Aguerd should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI but that prospect continues to seem further and further off.

Gianluca Scamacca - Still in doubt Friday Scamacca (ankle) may not be ready to face Brentford on Friday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Gianluca has done a little bit of training so we'll see how he is. He's lacking...

Impact Scamacca seems like a possible bench option at best given the manager's concern regarding his match fitness. Prior to the World Cup break, Scamacca started eight straight matches in which he recorded two goals on 23 shots (six on target) and 10 chances created. Once back to 100 percent, Scamacca should be a near-lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI.
