West Ham Face Uphill Task in Europa League Quarter-Final First Leg
Zouma and Key Players Absent
West Ham United face an uphill task in their UEFA Europa League quarter-final first leg against Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday. The Hammers will be without key players Kurt Zouma, Craig Dawson, and Angelo Ogbonna due to injury. Zouma's absence is a particularly significant blow, as he has been a key part of West Ham's defensive success this season.
West Ham Aim to Keep Good European Run Going
Despite the injuries, West Ham will be aiming to continue their good run in Europe. The Hammers have impressed in the Europa League this season, beating Sevilla and Dinamo Zagreb in the knockout stages. They will be hoping to add Bayer Leverkusen to their list of victims and take a positive result back to London for the second leg.
Bayer Leverkusen Resume Quest for Continental Treble
Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, will be looking to continue their quest for a continental treble. The German side are still in contention for the Bundesliga title, the DFB-Pokal, and the Europa League. They will be confident of beating West Ham and taking a step closer to their goal of winning all three competitions.
