Hopeful to face West Ham Bueno (leg) is questionable for Saturday's match against West Ham, according to manager Rob Edwards, per the BBC.

Impact Bueno had to miss the last match with a dead leg, but appears to be recovering and is now a late call to face West Ham on Saturday. The club will monitor his progress after he started in their previous two games, hoping he can return to that spot. If not, the club will be forced into a change, with Matt Doherty, Yerson Mosquera and Ladislav Krejci likely to start in the defense if he misses out or is placed on the bench.

Bueno scored his second goal of the season last weekend against Liverpool before picking up the injury. He's now questionable for upcoming matchups while he works on his recovery.

He is on contract until 2028 and will look to bid for more minutes again next season after starting this campaign in a starting role, having a solid chance of earning the role back if the club remains with a three-back next campaign.

Impact Bueno looks to a late call for Saturday's match, as he is now dealing with hamstring issues after coming off at halftime against Bournemouth on Wednesday. This could be a brutal development for the team, as he is a regular starter, and they have no backup options in the center of the defense, probably forcing a formation change or for a full-back to move to the center if Bueno is held out. He will now undergo testing, with more on his status likely being released ahead of Saturday's contest.

Impact Bueno will likely miss the start of the season as he has yet to appear in preseason training with the team. He suffered a hamstring injury that ended his season two matches early.
