# West Ham United: Fans ecstatic over Jesse Lingard update

**Speaking after West Ham United’s encounter with Newcastle on Saturday afternoon, David Moyes provided a positive outlook amid injury fears for Jesse Lingard, with the Irons manager sending an encouraging message after their [3-2 defeat at St James’ Park.](https://www.sofascore.com/newcastle-united-west-ham-united/MO)**

The Hammers travelled to Tyneside aiming to clinch another victory on the road to unprecedented Champions League qualification, but Moyes’ men instead succumbed to a setback in the race for a top four finish.

West Ham lost 3-2 in what was another very eventful match, with the Irons coming back from 2-0 down at one point only to lose Joe Willock in the area for the home side’s eventual winner. The biggest worry from that defeat, however, appeared to be a potential injury for Lingard, who was hooked by Moyes near full-time.

Providing a positive update after the match, Moyes outlined: “I think it was just cramp, I don’t think it was anything serious” (via [Jack Rosser](https://twitter.com/JackRosser_/status/1383422573111758853)).

Flocking to this message, many Hammers supporters were naturally relieved that the in-form 28-year-old – whose penalty against Newcastle was his [ninth goal in 10 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesse-lingard/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/141660/verein/379) for West Ham – hasn’t taken a serious knock. Read some of their verdicts below on this “positive news”, as one fan described it.
