West Ham superstar: I think my presence is no longer needed am leaving

West Ham United face off with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Premier League clash between Tottenham and West Ham is a vitally important one for both teams.

Unfortunately for the Hammers, our old nemesis Chris Kavanagh will be on VAR duty for the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Julen Lopetegui knows how important this game is, after a really slow start to his spell in charge at the London Stadium.

The win against Ipswich Town two weeks ago was crucial, and it provided him and his staff with some much-needed breathing space.

Meanwhile, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou desperately needs a win as well. His side were turned over 3-2 by Brighton last time out, and they need a response.

Tottenham will be without Richarlison for the London derby on Saturday, whilst they have numerous other players who are doubts including Wilson Odobert and Heung-min Son.

Now though, West Ham have a major fitness worry on our hands too…

West Ham blow with player absent from training ahead of Tottenham

Lopetegui and his players are in desperate need of a result in north London this weekend.

Spurs away is always a really tough challenge, but we have won at their place three times since 2017 – not a bad record at all.

And with Niclas Fullkrug the only injury doubt, everything is looking good for us right now.

However, West Ham seemingly could have another problem, with one of our key players absent from training.
