Aaron Cresswell - Returns to starting XI Cresswell (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Monday's Boxing Day clash with Arsenal.

Impact Cresswell is back in the starting XI on Monday as expected after a minor issue in a friendly over the break cost him some training. The defender had plenty of time to recover though and should be a major part of the West Ham defense once more to kick off the second half of the Premier League.

Michail Antonio - Starting Boxing Day Antonio (calf) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash with Arsenal.

Impact Antonio was a doubt for the Boxing Day fixture but has passed the late fitness tests and is in the starting XI. The striker will lead the line ahead of Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta. Antonio scored two league goals before the World Cup break.

Michail Antonio - Doubt with calf issue Antonio (calf) is dealing with a strain and although coach David Moyes is "hoping they have a chance, they are doubtful" for Monday's league matchup with Arsenal.

Impact This is tough news for West Ham supporters, as fellow attacker Gianluca Scamacca might also be sidelined with an ankle knock sustained during a friendly last weekend. In their absences, look for Jarrod Bowen to temporarily lead the line for the Hammers. Moyes added Friday, "Jarrod is more than capable of playing down the middle," so that appears to be the plan for now.

Gianluca Scamacca - Doubt for Arsenal Scamacca (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury and is a doubt for Monday's matchup against Arsenal, per coach David Moyes.

Impact Scamacca was forced off early during an exhibition last weekend against Fulham following a heavy challenge from Andreas Pereira. The knock is apparently significant enough to potentially hold him out of the squad's first game back from the international break and will be worth monitoring as West Ham announces upcoming lineups.

DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Thilo Kehrer - Returns to training Kehrer returned to training Thursday after re-joining the West Ham squad following the World Cup.

Impact Kehrer suffered a heart-breaking group stage elimination with Germany at the World Cup and has now returned to the West Ham camp. The defender returned to training Thursday and should be fully fit and available for a Boxing Day trip to Arsenal.

DECEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nayef Aguerd - Dealing with groin issue Aguerd (groin) is a doubt for Monday's trip to Arsenal, football.london report.

Impact Aguerd picked up the groin issue at the World Cup and failed to make an appearance in the third-place playoff. The defender has struggled with injury since joining West Ham and would be an especially big loss with Kurt Zouma (knee) out long-term after undergoing surgery.

DECEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Paqueta - Returns to training Paqueta participated in Wednesday's training session with his club.

Impact Paqueta is back after regularly starting for Brazil at the World Cup, making four appearances while scoring once and logging one assist in two knockout rounds. He had logged two assists in eight appearances before the tournament and if he can get into a rhythm, Paqueta is a worthy fantasy target.

DECEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Scamacca - Ankle knock in friendly Scamacca was forced off early during Saturday's friendly against Fulham, Football.London reports.

Impact Scamacca came off during the 12th minute of this exhibition following a heavy challenge from Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira. Coaches added that, "He just rolled his ankle, so we are not quite sure, but we were not taking any chances." More information regarding the issue and his availability for a 26 December tilt against Arsenal should be forthcoming in the next several days.

Nayef Aguerd - Makes bench against Croatia Aguerd is in the match day squad to face Croatia on Saturday.

Impact Aguerd was always a doubt to start as he's not fully fit, but he is included in the Saturday's squad. It's unlikely he'll see the field, but technically is available if called upon.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nayef Aguerd - Still not fully fit Aguerd isn't fully fit going into Saturday's third-place game against Croatia, according to manager Walid Regragui.

Impact Aguerd missed Wednesday's semifinal loss to France as he was a late scratch from the lineup. Going into the final game of an exceptional tournament, it seems unlikely Aguerd will be risked. This gives Achraf Dari and Jawad El Yamiq the inside track on starting.

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nayef Aguerd - Pulled from lineup Aguerd (thigh) has been removed from the starting XI and replaced by Achraf Dari, the FIFA site reports.

Impact Aguerd was slated to push through his injury, however, he decided to withdraw after warming up, making room for his teammate. He's on the bench.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nayef Aguerd - In starting XI Aguerd (thigh) will feature in the starting XI versus France on Wednesday.

Impact Aguerd racked up 12 clearances, four tackles (two won) and four interceptions in his previous four World Cup outings. Against the prolific French attack, Aguerd could be pressed into action defensively, which should require him to make a large number of clearances.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nayef Aguerd - Training despite illness Aguerd (hamstring) has trained Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's semifinal against France despite an illness, according to RMC Sport.

Impact Aguerd dealt with a hamstring issue that forced him out of Saturday's win over Portugal but he's done well to put himself in contention. There are a few questions to determine for the back line by Wednesday, though Aguerd and Romain Saiss are the top two options while Jawad El Yamiq and Achraf Dari are available if needed.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nayef Aguerd - May play Wednesday Aguerd (thigh) is on the "right path" ahead of Wednesday's semifinal match against France, according to reporter Firzie A. Idris of Kompas.com.

Impact Aguerd missed Saturday's win over Portugal after picking up an injury late in the victory over Spain but may have enough time to recover for the biggest test yet. He or Jawad El Yamiq could start depending on how training goes by Wednesday.

Nayef Aguerd - Out for quarter-final Aguerd (thigh) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Portugal.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Aguerd, who suffered the injury late against Spain. He's one of two regulars missing on the back line for Morocco, which isn't a great start for Saturday's quarter-final. Jawad El Yamiq of Valladolid is getting the start in his place in a massive spot.

DECEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Declan Rice - Ready to go Rice (illness) was a full participant in Friday's training session ahead of Saturday's quarterfinal against France, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.

Impact Rice had missed one training session due to illness but it was apparent after Thursday he'd likely be fit by the weekend. He's already started all four games and expect him to continue as the base of the midfield against tougher opponents.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nayef Aguerd - Will be game-time call Aguerd (thigh) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's quarterfinal against Portugal, according to manager Walid Regragui via Hanif Ben Berkane of Foot Mercato.

Impact Aguerd was considered unlikely to play Saturday for much of the week but is now handed a slim chance by the manager. He's started in all four matches until now and could be replaced by Jawad El Yamiq if needed.
