Kurt Zouma: West Ham defender to miss trip to Lyon with injury

West Ham defender Kurt Zouma will miss Thursday's Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon because of injury.

The France centre-back was forced off during the Hammers' Premier League defeat at Brentford on Sunday after hurting his ankle.

West Ham say the 27-year-old will remain in London to undergo further tests.

The tie is in the balance after last week's 1-1 draw at the London Stadium.

West Ham boss David Moyes is already without the suspended Aaron Cresswell, who was sent off in the first half of the opening leg.
