All the early injury news surrounding West Ham and Nottingham Forest as they prepare to face off in the Premier League.
West Ham are now preparing to face Nottingham Forest as they look to bounce back from a disastrous start to the season. The Hemmers have lost both of their first to games, conceding eight goals in the process, while they also lost to Wolves in the cup on Tuesday, making it 11 goals conceded in three games overall.
Graham Potter will need his men to step things up, although he also needs help in the transfer market amid limited business this summer. West Ham skipper Jarrod Bowen fell out with travelling fans during the week, after the Wolves defeat, and that led Potter to say: "We're all in pain so we need everybody to help. We need everybody's support. We need to push forward and on to the next match. The team's suffering at the moment, we all are, we're all hurting. I can assure you no-one's happy.
"Our supporters have been fantastic. They are hurting because of the results we've had and Jarrod obviously cares about the club and the team. It's just an exchange of views by people who care. Everyone is hurting, rightly so because we haven't had the results we'd like. Jarrod has been a fantastic captain and servant for the club."
As West Ham look to bounce back against a Forest side that has had plenty of investment this summer, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams.
Nicolas Dominguez - Out

Potter said before the Sunderland game: “We’ve still got Crysencio Summerville in the last stages of his rehab, so he won’t be available, but he’s getting really close, so that’s good for us.” He added more recently: “Cry is in the last stages of his rehab, so he won't be available, but he's getting really close. That's good for us.” The winger is likely to be back after the international break.
George Earthy - Out
The young talent has an ankle injury that will likely keep him out until after the international break. Potter said before first game of the season: “George Earthy still had an injury that he sustained early in pre-season. Apart from that, we’re pretty much close to full availability.” Earthy is not expected to return yet.
Luis Guilherme - Out
Guilherme has a clavicle fracture that is going to keep him out. It’s unclear when he will return at this stage.
