West Ham United are gearing up for a must-win clash against Newcastle United this weekend, and manager Nuno Santo has delivered a positive injury update ahead of the crunch fixture. With the Hammers languishing in 18th place and just two points adrift of safety, every match now feels like a cup final.

Santo confirmed that only winger Adama Traore will miss the game through injury. "We have Adama who is out for this game, but the rest of the squad is good," the manager stated. "He was not available for Arsenal, and he'll miss this one." Traore, who joined on a free transfer from Fulham in January, has made just 12 appearances for the club—a frustrating spell for a player known for his explosive pace.

With only two games remaining—against Newcastle and Leeds—and a two-point gap to Tottenham, the relegation battle is poised to go down to the wire. Santo acknowledged the pressure but remained defiant. "We knew a while ago it would go down to the wire. What we have to do is compete well against Newcastle, so we still have a chance," he said. "They are a very good team, and it's going to be tough. But we are ready, and we have belief."

The manager also emphasized the importance of trust and preparation in the squad's mindset. "I think the players trust our decisions and search for solutions, but we know it's up to them. We're going to try to find out everything about Newcastle, and give everything we can to get the right result."

For West Ham fans, this is a moment that defines a season. With a fully fit squad—minus one key absentee—and a clear goal in sight, the Hammers will need to channel every ounce of fight to keep their Premier League hopes alive. Whether you're watching from the stands or the comfort of your home, make sure you're kitted out in your best West Ham gear to show your support in this high-stakes showdown.
