Report – Arsenal set to miss star player for premier league clash with West ham due to World cup injury
West Ham to get major boost as Arsenal suffer key selection blow during 2022 Qatar World Cup
West Ham United are next in Premier League action on Boxing Day away at Arsenal, who could be without their main striker for the match after getting injured at the 2022 World Cup
West Ham United have suffered a significant selection boost for their Premier League clash against league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Boxing Day.
The Hammers head to north London in three weeks time hoping to climb up from 16 th in the league table, currently sitting just a point clear of the relegation zone after picking up just four points from a possible 18 in their last six league matches.
Next on the official fixture list, after mid-season friendlies away at Cambridge United, Udinese and Fulham, is a meeting with the Gunners, who have wowed the Premier League so far this season, sitting five points clear at the top after 12 wins, one draw and a defeat from their 14 league games this term.
West Ham will need to be at their best and hope for as much fortune as possible to get a positive result against Mikel Arteta’s side, and the latest Arsenal injury news could prove to be fortuitous for the Hammers.
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus, who is the only player in the league so far this season to have scored five goals and set up as many, suffered a knee injury during Brazil’s World Cup defeat to Cameroon in Qatar on Friday night.
