How did Tomas Soucek do until the forced substitution? Will West Ham’s next game be without a Czech?

Of the Czech trio, only Tomáš Souček took the field against Everton. Vladimír Coufal has a slight groin injury and Alex Král tested positive for COVID-19. The Czech midfielder was one of the best on the pitch against the Toffees, but had to make a forced substitution in the 79th minute!

This is also why there is a serious risk of a strange situation at West Ham for the first time in a long time. For the next game (against Genk), theoretically not even one Czech player may start.

Tomáš Souček was badly beaten by Venezuelan forward Rondón in the heat of battle. The Czech captain had to withdraw from the match and undergo stitches.

Soucek otherwise played a really great match after a long time! The prestigious WhoScored server gave him a rating of 7.35. His passing success rate reached an incredible 98%, and he passed 46 times! In offensive indicators, Soucek created one key pass from which West Ham threatened the home side Everton and made one successful dribble.

In the defensive phase, according to the statistics, he was the best of all West Ham. He fought the ball back into the Hammers’ possession on 3 occasions and intercepted the opponent’s pass twice.

In Thursday’s Europa League match, David Moyes is likely to spare the Czech midfielder. There is also a question mark over Vladimir Coufal’s start, he is reportedly nursing his injury, but it is questionable whether Moyes will include him in the squad for the Europa League game.

Alex King’s absence is almost certain, he hasn’t had much luck in England so far (apart from the Manchester United game).
