West Ham could be without three key men for tonight's crunch-match with Sevilla in the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 second leg, with the Hammers currently one-goal down on aggregate.

You'd expect them to have an advantage of their home crowd tonight, but with star winger Jarrod Bowen missing, the job will just be even more difficult than it was before - and it could become even harder should two key players also join the English winger on the sidelines.

Michail Antonio and Aaron Cresswell are both awaiting late fitness tests to see whether they will be able to take part in the game tonight, after suffering injuries at the weekend against Aston Villa.

"I couldn't tell you exactly if they're fit," West Ham manager David Moyes said yesterday. "They've done a little bit of light training. We're trying to find out if they are fit, that’s really what it is – we’re trying to give them every opportunity to be fit.

“They didn't train with the team today (Wednesday), but they have done a little bit with the fitness coaches. We'll wait and assess them tomorrow to see how they are.

“I’ve not named the team and I’ll probably not do that until late tomorrow [Thursday] to see how they are.”

This news will undoubtedly leave the Irons boss nervous, especially as Antonio is currently the Hammers' only natural option at striker, and after having another solid season for the East London club with him scoring eight Premier League goals in 28 games, Moyes will find it very difficult to replace him if he isn't able to play tonight.

It's not just his goals output that the Hammers will miss though, as he has also created seven more in the league this season, making on average 1.5 key passes per game - showing how important his creativity is for the club too.

Meanwhile, 32-year-old Cresswell has started 22 games in the top flight, scoring once and setting up three, proving he is also still a key asset to the team, and his leadership will surely be missed in such an important game like this one.
