Premier League: West Ham boss David Moyes says 'you want to feel there is forgiveness' for Kurt Zouma

West Ham manager David Moyes said that he hoped people could start to forgive Kurt Zouma as he missed the club’s 2-2 draw against Leicester City. The French central defender was due to take part in the Premier League encounter at the King Power Stadium but pulled out in the warm-up due to illness. Ad/> Zouma has been under pressure over the last week after a video appearing to show him abusing his pet cat led to public criticism and sponsorship withdrawals.

Once he got out he did not think it was possible.

We told Issa Diop to be ready. It is a stomach bug, probably something he has eaten. «I hope that we have changed a bit of how West Ham is perceived, but more on the pitch.

We have a good, exciting young team that we are trying to improve. West Ham have done great work down the East End of London, young supporters coming in and a lot of good things being done.
