Good news! Zouma, two other key West Ham defenders injured ahead of Arsenal clash

Three West Ham United players are injury doubts for the Premier League clash with Arsenal on Boxing Day.

Angelo Ogbonna, Nayef Aguerd and Kurt Zouma may not recover on time for the restart of the league.

Ogbonna is out with a long-term injury while Aguerd picked up a knock at the World Cup with Morocco.

Zouma, meanwhile, is still having to wait after undergoing washout surgery on his knee and therefore requires six weeks out.

This leaves the Hammers short at the back with just two recognised centre-backs - Thilo Kehrer and Craig Dawson.

Arsenal have three injuries of their own - Gabriel Jesus, Zinchenko and Smith Rowe.

Arsenal are top with 37 points while West Ham is just a point off the drop.
