Hello and welcome to our live rolling coverage of the latest West Ham news.
The Hammers' Carabao Cup third-round tie on Tuesday night was hugely overshadowed by the news that manager David Moyes plus defender Issa Diop and midfielder Josh Cullen have all tested positive for Covid-19.
Moyes was absent from the touchline for 5-1 win against Hull as assistant Alan Irvine took over coaching duties, while Diop and Cullen were both originally supposed to start before being withdrawn from the XI after the teams were announced.
West Ham later confirmed that all three had tested positive for coronavirus, immediately leaving the stadium and returning home. There could yet be more fallout ahead of the Hammers' upcoming Premier League clash against Wolves on Sunday, while last weekend's opponents, Arsenal, will likely provide an update about their squad.

HALF-TIME | West Ham 2-0 Hull |
GOAL! | West Ham 2-0 Hull | Sebastian Haller 45'
That might just put the tie to bed at the end of the first half. Again, Yarmolenko is the provider, sliding across the face for Haller to slot home.
40 mins: Almost two. Again, Lanzini is the menace, picking the ball up off Anderson and firing just wide.
Here's the full story on those positive tests, from Jack Rosser
West Ham have been rocked by a trio of positive coronavirus tests, including manager David Moyes.
The Hammers received the positive results, which include defender Issa Diop and midfielder Josh Cullen, less than an hour before kick off in their Carabao Cup game against Hull City, which continued with assistant Alan Irvine in charge and both players - who had been set to start - withdrawn from the team.
All three were not showing symptoms and had arrived at the stadium ahead of the game but were immediately sent home.
A club statement from West Ham read: "West Ham United can confirm that David Moyes, Issa Diop and Josh Cullen have returned positive tests for COVID-19.
"The Club’s medical team were informed of the test results as the team were at London Stadium preparing for this evening’s Carabao Cup third round tie against Hull City. The manager and both players immediately left the stadium and have returned home.
"All three, who are asymptomatic, will now follow Public Health England and Premier League guidelines and protocols.
"Everyone at West Ham United send their best wishes to David, Issa and Josh.
"Tuesday’s match will go ahead as planned, with Assistant Manager Alan Irvine taking charge of the team."
31 mins: So dramatic news off the pitch. On it, Hull have responded pretty well to going behind, though Lanzini looks very much in the mood.
We have an update as to why David Moyes is not on the touchline tonight.
He has tested positive for Covid-19, as have Issa Diop and Josh Cullen, who were in the starting line-up tonight but were withdrawn before kick-off.
GOAL! | West Ham 1-0 Hull | Robert Snodgrass 19'
Lovely goal. Good work from Lanzini and Yarmolenko in the build-up and Snodgrass puts the Hammers in front against his former club.
18 mins: An early change for Hull here as Smallwood hobbles off and George Honeyman replaces him.
13 mins: West Ham starting to get hold of the game now, Snodgrass and Wilshere impressing in midfield.
6 mins: On the pitch, the changes to the XI have seen a reshuffle for the youngsters playing tonight. Alese has moved in from left back to centre-half alongside Balbuena, while Johnson is on the left and Ashby at right-back.
