Craig Dawson - Still not training Dawson (thigh) still isn't training ahead of Thursday's UECL match, according to assistant manager Billy McKinlay. "He's probably a little bit [sidelined] short-term."

Impact This all but points to Dawson not being ready Sunday unless he can train later in the week. He's already been out multiple weeks and will need time on the pitch before he's given a start despite "doing quite well" a week ago. Ben Johnson could continue at center-back or new signing Thilo Kehrer could be an option if deemed ready.

Thilo Kehrer - Completes West Ham move Kehrer has transferred to West Ham and signed a four-year deal away from PSG.

Impact Kehrer goes from one crowded back line to another after starting 16 league matches each of the last two seasons at PSG. He figures to immediately fight for starts at center-back where Ben Johnson has been deployed the first two matches and also eventually contend for minutes at right-back where he played at times for PSG. Once Nayef Aguerd returns from injury, the Hammers will have a deep back line.

Lukasz Fabianski - Five saves in loss Fabianski made five saves in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Fabianski made five saves and still came away with a loss Sunday. It was a disappointing performance yet again from West Ham who have yet to give Fabianski a single goal in the opening two matches of the season. The keeper made 114 saves last time out and has the potential to sit near the top of the Premier League in saves once more in 2022/23.

Tomas Soucek - Four shots in loss Soucek had four shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Soucek shot four times in a surprising showing from the defensive midfielder. He was able to get forward and took multiple shots when given any sort of space. Soucek also made four tackles and five clearances to help fill the stat sheet during the loss. It's been a rough start to the campaign for West Ham, but they are still favored for a top half finish.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Declan Rice - Misses penalty Rice had one shot (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Rice's one shot came from the penalty spot but was tame and was stopped by Dean Henderson. It's been a disappointing start to the season for Rice, who many tipped for a move away from West Ham. With his role in defensive midfield and West Ham off to an awful start Rice's fantasy prospects could be somewhat tied to a late move away from the club.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Cresswell - Creates five chances Cresswell had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (three accurate), and three corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Cresswell created five chances on six crosses in another busy performance for the left-back. He has yet to get on the scoresheet in the opening two matches of the season, but is just a single year removed from an eight-assist season. Cresswell has also picked up his role on corners once more Sunday something he's generally held onto despite different players around him in the first team.

Said Benrahma - Busy in defeat Benrahma had three shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate), and four chances created in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Benrahma was excellent going forward in his first start of the 2022/23 campaign. The attacking midfielder is looking to build on an eight-goal and six-assist 2021/22 season easily his best in the top flight. Benrahma has had the volume to kick off the season with seven crosses and four chances created in the first two matches.

Angelo Ogbonna - Won't play Sunday Ogbonna (knee) isn't available for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Ogbonna isn't far from returning but coming off a knee ligament injury he'll need a little longer before he's at full fitness. Between he and Craig Dawson (thigh), this is a team very close to full fitness if all goes well.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Craig Dawson - Misses out Sunday Dawson (thigh) didn't make the match day roster for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Dawson missed the first game of the season against Manchester City and though it was possible to return, he didn't finish the week available to play. Ben Johnson will get another start Sunday and Dawson should be close to starting after another week back in training.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lukasz Fabianski - Starting Sunday Fabianski made the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Fabianski suffered a dead leg during last week's collision against Manchester City and is fortunate not to have suffered worse consequences. This keeps him in the lineup against a Forest side that are still searching for their best strategy in the Premier League.

Angelo Ogbonna - Could be available against Forest Ogbonna (knee) has been training with the squad and may be ready for the match-day squad versus Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Angelo Ogbonna is...

Impact Ogbonna has started all 70 appearances for the club over the last three seasons, so he should certainly be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI once given the green light. Whenever he does return to the pitch, the defender could offer some limited offensive upside, he has six goals on 29 shots (nine on target) over that 70-match stretch, but will primarily offer fantasy value from defensive stats.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Michail Antonio - Ready for Forest trip Antonio left the opener with a knock in the 57th minute, but he's trained this week and will be ready for Sunday's match at Nottingham Forest, according to manager David Moyes.

Impact Antonio is healthy, but it definitely seems like Gianluca Scamacca could start an upcoming match for West Ham. Antonio's job doesn't seem to be overly safe at the moment unless he can really get going. The additions of Maxwel Cornet and Scamacca are clearly a warning to some of West Ham's attacking players.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Craig Dawson - Could be option Sunday Dawson (thigh) is "doing quite well" and could be an option Sunday at Nottingham Forest, according to manager David Moyes.

Impact Dawson has a chance to start Sunday if all is well, but there wasn't a ton of information in this update. It's unknown how long he's had the injury and that plays into his availability, as well. If truly fit, he'll start at center-back Sunday and if not, Ben Johnson would likely start centrally again.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lukasz Fabianski - Late test against Forest Fabianski (leg) is considered a late test for Sunday's trip to Nottingham Forest, according to manager David Moyes. "Lukasz had a knock last week. We don't know how he's going to b...

Impact Moyes is known to give little information on injuries and that's the case with Fabianski, who should be available Sunday unless his knock never healed this week. He couldn't feel his leg earlier in the week, but there's no reason to expect he won't be ready Sunday. Still, if he's not, Alphonse Areola would get the start.
