West Ham & Bayer Leverkusen Squad Analysis
West Ham, who needs to overcome a 2-goal deficit, will be without Areola (groin), Bowen (hip), Earthy (concussion), Emerson (yellow cards), Paqueta (yellow cards), and Phillips (thigh). The new German Champions will have a fully fit squad with the only absence being Hlozek (ankle). The Hammers have conceded at least 1 goal in their last 6 outings (11 goals conceded). Michail Antonio, who scored twice in his last 6 appearances, could be a major threat to the German defense. Bayer Leverkusen has scored in their last 15 matches and can rely on their midfielder Florian Wirtz, who is having his best season and has scored 6 goals in his last 4 appearances for the club.
