West Ham assistant Billy McKinlay jokes that Hammers will resist the temptation to sneak David Moyes into the dressing room in a wheelie bin - as Jose Mourinho famously did in 2005 - with the Scot banned for Europa Conference League play-off first leg

West Ham will resist the urge to sneak David Moyes into their dressing room in a laundry basket as the club kickstart their new European campaign on Thursday.

Moyes is banned for the Europa Conference League play-off first leg with Danish side Viborg, and assistant Billy McKinlay joked they could hide him in a 'wheelie bin', as Chelsea famously did with Jose Mourinho in 2005.

Moyes is suspended after kicking the ball at a ball-boy during West Ham's Europa League semi-final defeat by Eintracht Frankfurt last season, and captain Declan Rice and vice-captain Aaron Cresswell are also serving bans.
