Julen Lopetegui wary over West Ham niggles for Arsenal clash | OneFootball

West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui has admitted he faces a nervous wait on the fitness of certain players for their clash with Arsenal this weekend.

It is a short turnaround for the Hammers, following on from Monday night's impressive 2-0 win away to Newcastle.

Although he refused to disclose exactly who may be unavailable, it has been reported that Jean-Clair Todibo is one of the players concerned.

"The team news is that we have two or three little problems that we have to assess tomorrow," Lopetegui told the assembled media.

"We have to wait until Friday morning to assess and to know exactly if they are going to be able to make it or not for the next big challenge that we have.

"I am positive. I would like that all of them can be ready, but let's see."

They remain without Mohammed Kudus through suspension, although Edson Alvárez is back after his ban.
