# West Ham: Insider shares major injury news before Tottenham

**[West Ham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) insiders Claret & Hugh have shared some bad injury news before the club’s crunch London derby against[Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) this weekend.**

### The Lowdown: Irons injury woes…

Irons boss [David Moyes](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/david-moyes/) has been left without a number of key players this season at various points with concerns now surrounding both Lucas Paqueta and Nayef Aguerd.

The pair were both taken off[through injury](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-injury-latest-lucas-paqueta-nayef-aguerd-b1059629.html) in West Ham’s last [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) encounter with Chelsea, potentially leaving Moyes vastly short of options for another blockbuster London head-to-head.

Aguerd in particular has been absent for large chunks of the 2022/2023 campaign with C&H not exactly sharing the best of news for supporters.

### The Latest: West Ham insider shares news…

Sharing an update from one of their sources, [the insiders claim](https://www.claretandhugh.info/candh-exclusive-aguerd-paqueta-injury-updates/) both Aguerd and Paqueta could be out for weeks and, as a result, are very likely to miss the Spurs game.

The informant explained:

*“They are both likely to be out for weeks rather than months.”*

### The Verdict: Worry for Moyes…

There is little doubting that both players potentially being ruled out for their match against Tottenham this Sunday would come as a major blow.

According to [WhoScored,](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Show/England-West-Ham) Aguerd and Paqueta both rank in Moyes’ top four by average match rating in the top flight this season.

The latter Brazilian has stood out as a key attacking threat for West Ham also, averaging [more shots at goal per 90](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Show/England-West-Ham) than any Hammers player.

Aguerd, meanwhile, has made West Ham’s joint-second highest amount of clearances per 90 and sits third in their squad for successful tackles [(WhoScored).](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Show/England-West-Ham)

Against a top-four chasing side like their London rivals, Aguerd and Paqueta will surely be huge, huge misses.
