WEST HAM's squad were struck down with a sickness bug ahead of their 5-0 defeat to Fulham.<\/p>\n
The Hammers were battered 5-0 on their Sunday visit to Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
However, it has now been revealed that David Moyes' side came down with a bout of illness before the game.<\/p>\n
According to The Athletic, several players and staff members – including boss Moyes – were affected by the bug.<\/p>\n
Pablo Fornals started the clash despite being one of the worst impacted by the illness.<\/p>\n
Edson Alvarez and Emerson Palmieri both missed the game due to the illness. <\/p>\n
Alphonse Areola was also absent, though this was down to a wrist injury.<\/p>\n On the humbling defeat, Moyes said: "I\u2019m embarrassed for the result and the performance, and we\u2019re sorry to the supporters for it.<\/p>\n "There were a wee bit of mitigating circumstances \u2013 I think the midweek took a huge amount out of us. <\/p>\n "Playing Thursday and Sunday in two Premier League games, compared to [Fulham playing on] Wednesday and Sunday makes a big, big difference.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFER<\/strong><\/p>\n "We\u2019ve had quite a bit of illness in the camp over the last few days and that\u2019s not helped."<\/p>\n Moyes will be hoping the sickness dissipates in time for West Ham's Thursday game against Freiburg in the Europa League.<\/p>\n West Ham can secure top spot in the group with a win over the German outfit.<\/p>\n Goals from Lucas Paqueta and Nayef Aguerd saw West Ham beat Freiburg in the reverse fixture on matchday two.<\/p>\n<\/picture>POWER UP <\/span><\/p>\n
