West Ham United v KRC Genk: Tomas Soucek fit after plastic surgery

West Ham's Czech midfielder Tomas Soucek is fit for Thursday's Europa League game with Genk after having plastic surgery on his face.

Soucek, 26, was accidentally kicked in the face by Everton striker Salomon Rondon in Sunday's Premier League game.

"Tomas is OK. He's been a bit sore. He's had stitches in his lip, cheek and nose - he's fine," said Hammers boss David Moyes.

"I don't think his injuries would be any reason not to play him."

Moyes added: "It's just a decision on whether we decide to rest him or not - Tomas wants to play.
