Hello and welcome to our live rolling coverage of the latest West Ham news.

The Hammers' Carabao Cup third-round tie on Tuesday night was hugely overshadowed by the news that manager David Moyes plus defender Issa Diop and midfielder Josh Cullen have all tested positive for Covid-19.

Moyes was absent from the touchline for 5-1 win against Hull as assistant Alan Irvine took over coaching duties, while Diop and Cullen were both originally supposed to start before being withdrawn from the XI after the teams were announced.

West Ham later confirmed that all three had tested positive for coronavirus, immediately leaving the stadium and returning home. There could yet be more fallout ahead of the Hammers' upcoming Premier League clash against Wolves on Sunday, while last weekend's opponents, Arsenal, will likely provide an update about their squad.
