West Ham United vs. Crystal Palace: Jan 18, 2025

Ward (calf) likely won't be available for Sunday's trip to Brighton, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "We have a bit of a question mark with Joel Ward - he has some issues with his calf - but let's see how it goes, it looks like maybe he's not available."

Franca (groin) remains in rehab training, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "It looks like he will join us in team training, if everything goes in the right direction, early in the New Year. For the December games, he's not available."

Fullkrug is back fit and available in full for Monday's trip to Bournemouth, according to manager Julen Lopetegui."I think Fuller [Niclas Fullkrug] is improving all the time. He was out for a long time, and now he's recovered and day by day he's getting better. It's good news for us that he's back. He's been working in the normal way for the last ten days, and he is ready."
