“He Has a Chance” | Hammers Update Ahead of Liverpool Clash
Claret & Hugh have been informed by a West Ham source that central defender Max Kilman could have a chance of playing against Liverpool tomorrow.
In what would be a huge boost ahead of the Premier League clash at the London Stadium, it has been revealed that the £40m centre-back will face a late fitness test, with early signs looking positive.
Facing Arne Slot’s Liverpool team was always going to be a stern challenge, but doing so without West Ham’s most consistent central defender might have been asking too much.
Lopetegui Replacement ‘Flattered’ by Hammers Interest. Kilman was substituted after 25 minutes during West Ham’s 1-1 victory over Southampton on Boxing Day with a shoulder injury and was initially not expected to recover in time for the Liverpool game.
The makeshift partnership of Konstantinos Mavropanos and Jean-Clair Todibo performed admirably against the Saints. However, it’s fair to say that Southampton’s attack was perhaps the weakest the Hammers have faced this season.
Speaking to Claret & Hugh this afternoon, a top Hammers source said, “We hope so, but we don’t know yet. We’ll only know tomorrow, but he has a chance.”
