Just read the match report on the Guardian - says Antonio was out with a groin injury. Did we know that? It was his hamstrings that were the talk of the town....
I can't see a replacement strike being signed today. So, Moyes will have resort to some experimentation - Yarmolenko at centre forward, Obudeko is inexperienced and also a recent returnee from injury, a false nine and no striker as Barcelona do. Never a dull moment as a hammers fan. Now where are those heart tablets.

The article is based on a Claret & Hugh article, there's a link on the page
"David Moyes was notably coy about whether Michail Antonio is fit enough to play two games in four days"
and...
"Moyes says he will need to look at whether his striker will be ready to start on Tuesday against West Brom and will wait to see how he recoveres in the next couple of days."
There's no actual quote from Moyes or any hint that Antonio is injured
Those journos love to make mountains from molehills!

Honestly, they should be against the lawderz.

Dia was supposedly the closest deal, but he's playing for Reimes today so no chance he'll be signed in time, if at all.

I also note the writer's bio: he wants to 'pursue a career that allows me to work reporting accurate football news'.
