Whilst the International break has taken over the first week of October, it certainly doesn’t change the fact that West Ham are set to face their hardest month in the Championship so far, with a set of challenging fixtures up ahead, but fortunately, with a rather kind schedule.

West Ham United’s run of injuries during the international break is suspected to have continued, with a first-team player rumoured to have suffered an injury.

Over the course of the 2026 World Cup, the Hammers suffered a long-term injury to Czech Republic international Tomas Soucek, who is only now finally returning to the squad, but Hammers fans will have to face the ‘one-in, one out’ curse as Manor Solomon is suspected to have picked up a back injury in Israel’s goalless draw against Kosovo.

Whilst David Sullivan is not being an active member of the board at West Ham United, he has clearly ventured his interest elsewhere as it was announced yesterday that the 77-year-old is set to sue the BBC for £150m due to defamation of character.

On June 8th 2026, the BBC released a Panorama titled ‘Predator: The Billionaire Football Boss’. This Panorama had been released in timely fashion after Daniel Kretinsky, the now majority shareholder of West Ham, announced his intention to take control of the club.
