West Ham faced a challenging situation as two key players encountered injury issues. David Moyes, the team's manager, revealed that captain Kurt Zouma felt discomfort in his knee during training and, despite initial optimism, was unable to pass fitness tests on the day of the match. This was a significant setback as Zouma has been a strong performer throughout the season, and with Nayef also missing, it's a blow for the team. Additionally, Lucas Paqueta, an attacking midfielder for West Ham, suffered a knee injury during warm-ups. His condition worsened during the game, which saw Spurs leading 2-0, leading to him being forced off the pitch and later seen with his left leg strapped with ice. The extent of Paqueta's knee injury was yet to be determined, pending a scan. Meanwhile, another player, Dunk, received a booking that resulted in a suspension for an upcoming match against West Ham, potentially compounding the team's challenges if a player named Igor is also injured.
Lucas Paqueta to undergo a scan on his knee injury today. West Ham hopeful it isn’t too bad.
Dunk booked for the challenge. He's banned now for West Ham (a) on Tuesday. That's a problem if Igor is injured. https://t.co/wr5fwoEtDF

David Moyes on team news: "Yesterday Kurt felt his knee in training. This morning we thought he would make it, but he wasn't quite ready after fitness tests. It's disappointing, he's our captain and he's played well this season. With Nayef also missing it's a blow for us." #WHUFC
