West Ham's hopes of finishing the season strongly are rocked by news that Issa Diop is injured.

The Hammers are already facing an injury crisis in defense, with Kurt Zouma and Angelo Ogbonna unavailable.

Hammers boss David Moyes will have to shuffle the pack, with Craig Dawson his only fit senior centre-back, as they take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League semi-final first leg.

West Ham are currently seventh in the Premier League, and are still in the running to finish in a Champions League or Europa League spot.

One option may be for Moyes to move Declan Rice to defence for the rest of the season, per The Guardian.

He may also switch his team from a back four to a back three.
