West Ham handed a huge injury boost ahead of Everton clash.

Despite not having too many injury problems this season, West Ham could potentially be without some key players this weekend.

Julen Lopetegui suggested in his press conference that there have been some issues ahead of the Everton clash, and it remains to be seen whether or not those unnamed players will actually be unavailable.

However, the Hammers aren’t the only ones with injury problems and they’ve been handed a potentially massive boost by way of a Dwight McNeil injury, Liverpool Echo reports.

In 10 Premier League games, McNeil has contributed to 6 goals, making him one of the Toffees’ best players this season. By losing him they lose out on a huge attacking threat and one of their key creative outlets.

If he is unable to play, Everton could find themselves struggling to carve out chances despite the Irons’ awful defensive record this season.

Reports suggest that it’s a must win game for Lopetegui, so any advantage he can get is absolutely huge.
