West Ham United manager David Moyes and left-back Aaron Cresswell are due to speak to the media on Wednesday afternoon.

The Hammers will look to return to winning ways on Thursday night in Cyprus when they take on Cypriot First Division leaders AEK Larnaca in the first leg of their Europa Conference League round of 16 tie.

Moyes is expected to be discussing the latest team news ahead of the game, as well as provide an update on the current injury situation. Winger Maxwel Cornet (calf), striker Michail Antonio (hamstring) and Thilo Kehrer (illness) all missed the 4-0 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion, while centre-back Angelo Ogbonna was also forced off during the loss. However, all were pictured in training on Tuesday by the club.

Right-back Vladimir Coufal (heel) and goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski (cheekbone/eye-socket) are both currently also injured.

Moyes and Cresswell are both set to give their thoughts on the game, the trip to Cyrpus, recent struggles in the Premier League and more.

The press conference is due to start at around 1:15pm (UK time). Stay tuned to our live blog below for updates throughout.

Emerson says he would be privileged to become the first player to win all four major UEFA competitions as West Ham United prepare for the Europa Conference League knockout stages.

The Hammers are the only side to have reached the last 16 of the competition with a 100 per cent record, winning home and away against FCSB, Silkeborg, and Anderlecht in the group stage after their 6-1 aggregate win against Viborg in the play-off round.

West Ham United have been handed a major injury boost ahead of their UEFA Europa Conference League first leg vs AEK Larnaca.

Michail Antonio (hamstring), Thilo Kehrer (illness) and Maxwel Cornet (calf) were all doubts heading into the first leg but all were spotted in training pictures released on Wednesday morning.

As was Angelo Ogbonna, who came off injured in the Hammers' 4-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon.
